On April 5, 2017, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued an advisory announcing that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) had updated its list of jurisdictions with strategic Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) deficiencies. NFA Member FCMs and IBs should review this advisory to ensure that their AML programs have the most current information on FATF identified jurisdictions with AML/CFT deficiencies and revise their AML programs accordingly.
