FATF to conduct webinar on Proliferation Financing Risk Assessment

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) will be conducting a Webinar on 16 December 2021 from 4pm to 5.30pm (Mauritius Time) on Proliferation Financing Risk Assessment and Mitigation.

The webinar will bring together a panel of experts from public and private sectors with a global and domestic focus on tackling the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
