A Financial Action Task Force (FATF) team is here on a two-day visit to assess Guyana’s implementation of recommendations, a crucial step in a years-long battle by the country to avoid international sanctions over its anti-money laundering framework.
The FATF team yesterday met with Attorney General (AG) Basil Williams and his AML/CFT compliance group.
Following the meeting which was held at the AG Chambers, Williams said that Guyana has satisfied all of the recommendations outlined in the FATF action plan and that the visit by the on-site team is the next stage of the process.
America’s Regional Review Group (ARRG) Assessor, Gonzalo Gonzalez de Lara; Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) Financial Advisor, Roger Hernandez and FATF’s Senior Policy Analyst, Kevin Vandergrift are the members of the delegation who met with Williams.
