Reviewing Canada's Anti-Money Laundering And Anti-Terrorist Financing Regime
Feb 07, 2018
On February 7, 2018, the Canadian Department of Finance (the Department) released a consultation document entitled "Reviewing Canada's Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Regime". The Act requires that a committee of Parliament review the administration and operation of the Act every five years.
The Department notes that a Mutual Evaluation report by the Financial Action Task Force ("FATF") found that Canada has strong anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing legislation and regulations, but noted there are several areas where action could be taken to ensure the framework meets technical standards and is even more effective.
