Inputs and outcomes - UK National Risk Assessment 2017

Timon Molloy (timon.molloy@informa.com), Editor

The second UK National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, for 2017 [1], reads as much stock-take of all recent legislative and regulatory initiatives as pinpoint analysis of the threats, which characterised the 2015 edition. [2] The imminent Financial Action Task Force (FATF) assessment, the UK's first since 2007, may explain the wordiness, which risks tipping the dossier towards worthy public relations tome rather than useful resource for frontline compliance.
