Acams Exam CAMS-FCI Topic 1 Question 9 Discussion

According to the CAMS study guide, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Regional Style Bodies are organizations created by the FATF to promote the implementation of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) measures in specific regions. One of the key characteristics of these bodies is the implementation of regional mutual evaluation procedures.

Regional mutual evaluations involve member countries evaluating each other's AML/CFT regimes to identify strengths and weaknesses and to develop best practices for improvement. This process allows for greater cooperation between countries and can help to identify and address regional AML/CFT risks more effectively. It also promotes consistency in AML/CFT standards and practices within the region.
