The FATF has developed guidance aimed to assist countries in the conduct of money laundering and terrorism financing risk assessment at national level.

A risk assessment Guidance will help countries to identify, assess and understand its money laundering and terrorist financing risks. The Guidance reflects the risk-based approach: once these risks are properly understood, countries can apply relevant measures that correspond to the level of risk. This approach being the central approach of the FATF Recommendations enables countries to prioritize their resources and allocate them efficiently.
