Financial Action Task Force of Latin America expands CAMPUS GAFILAT to professional associations through 43 agreements covering 17,000 professionals

The Financial Action Task Force of Latin America (GAFILAT) has opened its CAMPUS GAFILAT e-learning platform to professional colleges and guilds, expanding access beyond the original user base as part of its work to strengthen anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and counter-proliferation financing systems. The platform previously limited access to public officials and private-sector participants designated and registered through national competent authorities within the FATF Global Network of more than 200 jurisdictions. Under the new phase, access is being extended to the private sector via agreements with professional bodies, with 43 agreements signed and more than 17,000 professionals enrolled. Access is free, but content availability is time-limited, and the curriculum covers topics including the FATF 40 Recommendations, virtual assets, cross-border transportation of cash, preventive measures for politically exposed persons, regional typologies, suspicious transaction reporting, risk self-assessments, and regional money laundering and terrorist financing threats. Courses are self-guided and asynchronous, include content developed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and GAFILAT expects additional contributions from more countries and organisations.
