IPA Insolvency Practitioner newsletter AML Digest, April 2026
FATF is the Financial Action Task Force and leads global action to tackle money laundering and terrorist and proliferation financing.
Three times a year (February, June & October) FATF hold a plenary session to consider jurisdictions that require increased monitoring (the ‘grey list’) and high-risk jurisdictions subject to a call for action (the ‘black list’).
Updates have been published from the February 2026 plenary session. There is no change to the black-listed countries which remain North Korea, Iran and Myanmar, and details of FATF findings on these countries can be found here.
There have been changes made to the grey list countries. Kuwait and Papua New Guinea have been added to the list. Full details are available here.
