TO QUALIFY FOR MEMBERSHIP  A COUNTRY MUST BE:
(a) Be strategically important;
(b) Be a full and active member of a relevant FATF-style Regional Body;
(c) Provide a formal written commitment to implement the FATF recommendations; and
(d) Effectively criminalise money laundering and terrorist financing; make it mandatory for financial institutions to identify their customers, to keep customer records and to report suspicious transactions; and establish an effective FIU.

The work of the FATF focuses on three principal areas:

(1) Setting standards for national anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing programmes
(2) Evaluating the degree to which countries have implemented measures that meet those standards
(3) Identifying and studying money laundering and terrorist financing methods and trends

Objectives

The Task Force's initial aim was to examine money laundering techniques and trends, the current methods of countering these activities, and recommending steps to be taken to enhance current practices. In April 1990, the FATF issued a report containing a set of Forty Recommendations, which constitutes a proposed plan of action to combat money laundering. These have since been revised in 1996 and in 2003.

The FATF continues to examine methods used to launder criminal proceeds and has conducted two evaluations of each of the member countries to assess the status of implementation.
In 2001, the fight against terrorist financing was added to the mission of the FATF and consequently led to the development of nine standards in this regard.

The current mandate (pdf) was created in 1998 and focuses on:
Spreading the anti-money laundering message to all continents and regions of the globe
Monitoring the implementation of the Forty Recommendations in FATF members
Reviewing money laundering trends and countermeasures

Organizational Structure
The FATF includes a President and a Secretariat. The Presidency is a one year position, commencing in June and held by "a high level government official" from one of the member countries.

The Secretariat supports the Task Force and the President and is resident at the OECD Headquarters in France.
FATF Plenary meetings are held annually. The 2009 Plenary (pdf) was held October 12-14 and was attended by 400 delegates from 32 jurisdictions and 16 international organizations.
