FATF to invite IAMTN to join a consultative partnership

FATF has invited IAMTN to join a consultative partnership to advise on combating money laundering within the money service business sector.

The invitation came from the Secretary General John Carlson to Lady Olga Maitland, CEO, IAMTN. The aim is to develop a close relationship through IAMTN with the money service sector with the purpose of putting together Guidance on a Risk-Based Approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The first consultative exercise will take place in Ottawa in September and thereafter there will be regular meetings between the two organizations.

Say's Lady Olga Maitland "This is a compliment to IAMTN and comes as a result of much hard work on our part in helping to set standards of professionalism within the money service sector. We will do our best to work with FATF developing a good understanding of our sector and make a solid contribution to the proposed Guidance paper."
