OSCE supported participation of non-profit organizations from Central Asia and Eastern Europe in Vienna discussion on preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing

The OSCE’s Transnational Threats Department, in co-operation with the OSCE field operations, facilitated the participation of representatives of non-profit organizations from Central Asia and Eastern Europe in a direct dialogue on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluation process and risk assessments for more effectively preventing money laundering and terrorist financing on 23 and 24 April 2018 in Vienna. 

The discussion took place within the FATF-PSC Private Consultative Forum organized by the FATF.

The participants shared their lessons learned and good practices with conducting risk assessments and explored how countries can better reach out and continuously engage with financial institutions, designated non-financial businesses and professions and non-profit organizations with the aim of improving compliance with the FATF standards.
