A&B OFFICIALS BENEFIT FROM TRAINING IN AML/CFT AHEAD OF GLOBAL REVIEW

Antigua and Barbuda is getting a head-start on preparations for its next international review by the Financial Action Task Force, FATF.

That’s the global body that sets standards for preventing money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

A team of four trainers, led by Jefferson Clarke of Trinidad and Tobago is in Antigua and Barbuda helping the country prepare for its next major evaluation of its financial systems in 2027.

They are conducting a two-day training session for key stakeholders in the financial sector.

The focus is the Financial Action Task Force’s revised standards and methodology – international rules designed to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and the illegal movement of funds.
