Doha: The financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF) joint assessor training kicked off in Doha, yesterday.
The event is hosted by the State of Qatar, represented by the National Anti-Money Laundering and terrorism Financing Committee (NAMLC), in collaboration with MENAFAT, FATF and the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.
The five-day workshop brings together experts representing over 26 countries from MENAFATF, alongside the counterpart groups.
It intends to qualify cadres and prepare a host of assessors with diverse expertise in anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and proliferation financing, assembled for the third round of the mutual assessment process of the group.
Hosting this training stems from the State of Qatar's steadfast belief in the importance of capacity-building, strengthening exchange of expertise and underscoring its unwavering regional and global support for combating money laundering and terrorism financing, while fostering enhanced cooperation with international partners to establish a more transparent financial system.
In his opening remarks, Secretary of NAMLC Issa Mohammed Al Hardan stressed that the process of qualifying assessors is beneficial for MENAFATF through having qualified assessors to conduct the assessment process for the coming round.
He highlighted that it is likewise beneficial for the participating countries through the strategic preparation of their teams to be ready for assessment operations, by leveraging the specialised training provided by a contingent of MENAFATF experts.
