The Financial Action Task Force is an intergovernmental organisation established to set recommendations and monitor global standards in respect of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.

In an article for The Oath, Karl Masi, Senior Associate, sheds light on the actions taken by the UAE’s regulatory bodies since the grey-listing.
