A modular training course for experts has been launched at the International Training and Methodology Centre for Financial Monitoring (ITMCFM) as part of the Russian Federation’s preparation for the fifth round of FATF mutual evaluations.
The modular course consists of three stages and will run until mid-April. The lecture and practical training materials were prepared with due regard to the latest changes in FATF guidance documents and the specific roles of all participants in the AML/CFT system involved in the preparation for the mutual evaluation process.
At the first stage of the programme, more than 40 experts — specialists from Rosfinmonitoring and other agencies involved in the preparation for the mutual evaluation — examined the specific features of the mutual evaluation procedure and the assessment of technical compliance with the Recommendations related to Immediate Outcomes 1, 2 and 5.
During the two-day training, participants also received information on the progress of work on the third national risk assessment of the Russian Federation — NRA 2025/2026.
