With the start of a new round of FATF mutual evaluations earlier this year, and the revised standard on risk-based approach encouraging simplified due diligence for lower risk activities adopted only a few months ago, this is the time to discuss how those standards should be implemented in practice and how to further financial integrity objectives without undermining financial inclusion.

This roundtable will bring together regulators, providers of financial services and development partners to explore how integrity and inclusion can reinforce each other rather than pull in opposite directions, and how compliance assessment process can be revised to support an approach that ensures that low-income and cross-border users will continue to have untrammeled access to financial service. The session will be interactive with short inputs from speakers, guided discussions, and Q&A, and will focus on practical approaches and opportunities for collaboration.
