Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the observance of standards and codes on Financial Action Task Force recommendations for anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) in Mexico. Mexico has a mature AML/CFT regime, with a correspondingly well-developed legal and institutional framework. The financial sector demonstrates a good understanding of the primary money laundering threats from organized crime groups and associated criminal activities as well as tax crimes, but the recognition of corruption as a main threat is uneven. Mexico also has a solid legal and institutional framework in place to seek and provide mutual legal assistance and extradition. The authorities also frequently rely on other forms of international cooperation to exchange information with other countries.

Download or read book People s Republic of China written by International Monetary Fund. Legal Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • China has undertaken a number of initiatives since 2002 that have contributed positively to its understanding of ML/TF risk, although some important gaps remain. Its framework for domestic AML/CFT cooperation and coordination is well established. • China’s decentralized financial intelligence unit (FIU) arrangement consisting of China Anti-Money Laundering Monitoring and Analysis Center (CAMLMAC), Anti-Money Laundering Bureau (AMLB), and 36 People’s Bank of China (PBC) provincial branches has high potential to produce financial intelligence that supports the operational needs of competent authorities, but its current functioning results in incomplete access by all parts of the FIU to all data, fragmented analysis and disseminations, and limits the development of a holistic view. Therefore, major improvements are needed.

Download or read book United States written by International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Technical Note discusses the findings and recommendations made in the Financial Sector Assessment Program for the United States in the areas of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). The United States’ AML/CFT legal and institutional framework has yet to address deficiencies identified in the most recent Financial Action Task Force mutual evaluation report regarding ownership information for U.S. corporations and trusts. In particular more rapid progress is needed to enhance transparency of legal persons to bolster financial system integrity. Trusts have a different legal and institutional framework, and draft regulations have been produced to strengthen financial institutions’ obligations. These measures are however progressing slowly.

Download or read book Colombia written by International Monetary Fund. Legal Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colombia has a reasonable understanding of its main domestic money laundering/terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks. The country’s understanding of risks relies particularly on the results of the 2013 and 2016 National Risk Assessments (NRAs). • The 2016 NRA has yielded reasonable findings with respect to the identification of the main ML threats and vulnerabilities. • The AML/CFT supervisory systems and tools are not entirely in line with the risk-based approach (RBA), and there are significant gaps in the supervision of designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs). • Colombia investigates and prosecutes ML effectively, but not in a manner that is commensurate with its ML risks.
