FATF Guidance
Guidance on the Risk-Based Approach to Combating Money Laundering and
Terrorist Financing: High Level Principles and Procedures
Following a meeting in December 2005 between the FATF and representatives of the banking
and securities sectors, FATF agreed to establish an Electronic Advisory Group (EAG) on the
risk-based approach as part of its outreach to the private sector. The EAG, which is a subgroup
of the FATF Working Group on Evaluations and Implementation (WGEI) was set up in
March 2006, and was chaired by Mr. Philip Robinson (Financial Services Authority, United
Kingdom) and Mr. Rick Small (GE Money, United States). Membership of the Group has
consisted of FATF members and observers, as well as representatives from the banking and
securities sectors that volunteered to work on the issue of the risk-based approach to
combating money laundering and terrorist financing (referred to throughout this paper as "the
risk-based approach" (RBA)).
