Abstract

The national money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/FT) risk assessment should be considered as a basis for prioritizing AML/CFT policy and allocating resources. The global issues of the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering system relates primarily to the activities of the FATF, as well as all regional groups created in the FATF type.

Evaluation of the anti-money laundering system by international organizations is carried out through the process of mutual evaluations, which takes place once every few years. The process of assessing the risk system should be regular. The main thing is the task of forming a single mechanism for the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering system. It should be noted the importance of the concepts of efficiency and effectiveness in the assessment of national risks.

Efficiency is the ratio between the results achieved. Potency is the degree to which the planned activities are implemented and the planned results are achieved.
