FINTRAC WHITE PAPER ON TERRORIST FINANCING IS RECOMMENDED READING FOR COMPLIANCE OFFICERS

FINTRAC, Canada's Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre, the country's AML/CFT regulator, recently published a primer on terrorist financing. Entitled Terrorist Financing Assessment 2018, the white paper provides thumbnail profiles of all terrorist financing hotspots in both the Middle East, as well as Asia, and it is recommended reading for all compliance officers.

Two important features of the white paper are the listing of specific cities in the Middle East & Asia that FINTRAC had identified as centers of terrorist financing activity, and a description of what the report calls "Extremist Travelers." The 29-page white paper is short enough to be a quick read, but it acquaints the reader with the essentials that he or she should know about terrorist financing jurisdictions.

You can access the English language pdf version of the white paper here.
