The FATF has requested that all countries take the necessary steps to bring their national systems for combating money laundering and terrorist financing into compliance with the new FATF Recommendations, and to effectively implement these measures. The Forty Recommendations document can be found at http://www1.oecd.org/fatf/pdf/40Recs-2003_en.pdf

The revised Forty Recommendations now apply not only to money laundering but also to terrorist financing, and when combined with the Eight Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing (http://www1.oecd.org/fatf/SRecsTF_en.htm) provide an enhanced, comprehensive and consistent framework of measures for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
