Here is the honest situation. The FATF 40 Recommendations are the global standard for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing, implemented through national law and supervised by regulators. They require a risk-based program, an enterprise risk assessment, customer due diligence including beneficial ownership, ongoing monitoring, record keeping, suspicious transaction reporting to the financial intelligence unit, targeted financial sanctions, enhanced measures for PEPs and correspondent banking, the wire transfer travel rule, a compliance officer, training and independent audit. Building that program and evidencing it to a supervisor is real work, and a firm that skips beneficial ownership or never files a suspicious transaction report is exactly where firms fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every FATF requirement written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a supervisor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the FATF 40 Recommendations as implemented in national AML/CFT law, with the risk-based approach, customer due diligence and beneficial ownership, ongoing monitoring, suspicious transaction reporting, targeted financial sanctions, PEPs and correspondent banking, the wire transfer travel rule and the compliance and audit requirements called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is establishing the AML/CFT program, where compliance begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence is a supervisory finding. This tells you what a supervisor examines and where firms fall short, for every requirement.
- CDD, monitoring and reporting built in. The customer due diligence and beneficial ownership, the transaction monitoring and the suspicious transaction reporting are written into the controls, the core of the Recommendations.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The FATF Recommendations underpin national AML law and sanctions regimes, so this work feeds your wider financial crime program.
Who buys this
Banks, financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions, and the compliance, MLRO and risk leads who own AML/CFT. Whether it is a first program or a supervisory readiness pass, you save weeks and walk in with CDD, monitoring and reporting structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover beneficial ownership? Yes. Identifying and verifying beneficial owners is built as a control, because it is a core CDD failure point.
Does it cover suspicious transaction reporting? Yes. Reporting to the financial intelligence unit and the tipping-off prohibition are built as controls.
Does it cover sanctions and PEPs? Yes. Targeted financial sanctions, PEPs and correspondent banking each have their own controls.
