AML / CFT (Counter-Terrorist & Proliferation Financing)

When to Use

Assess terrorist financing (TF) typologies and red flags distinct from general money laundering
Design or improve CFT/PF controls, policies, and risk appetite—not a full AML program from scratch
Scope proliferation financing (PF) and dual-use goods exposure in trade finance or correspondent flows
Map targeted financial sanctions (TFS), designation lists, and asset freeze operational workflows (conceptual)
Draft CFT-specific STR/SAR narrative structure and internal escalation fact packs (not filing legal advice)
Conduct charitable NPO and nonprofit sector due diligence and de-risking decisions
Evaluate MVTS (money/value transfer services), remittance corridors, and informal value transfer risks
Address correspondent banking and cross-border TF vulnerabilities and nested-account risks
Align controls to FATF Recommendations 6–8 and related interpretive guidance at a high level
Integrate sanctions screening with CFT disposition, true-match escalation, and freeze holds
Plan CFT training, independent review, and exam readiness for TF/PF-focused questions
