Why each option
A key goal of FSRBs is conducting typologies research to identify and analyze emerging methods criminals and terrorists use to exploit the financial system.
Executing AML processes is the responsibility of financial institutions and other obligated entities, not of FSRBs as policy and assessment bodies.
Enforcing local AML laws falls to national competent authorities and law enforcement agencies within each jurisdiction, not to FSRBs.
FSRBs conduct regional typologies exercises to document new and evolving money laundering and terrorist financing methods specific to their geographic areas. This analytical work helps member countries understand regional threat patterns and adapt their AML/CFT frameworks to address them effectively.
Setting global AML/CFT standards is the mandate of FATF itself; FSRBs assess whether members implement those standards rather than creating new ones.
