Learn-skills.dev fatf-glossary-reference

Points to the official FATF Glossary on fatf-gafi.org for standardized AML/CFT and related terms used across FATF Recommendations and guidance. Use when the user needs authoritative definitions (e.g. CDD, ML/TF, STR, PEP, risk-based approach) in compliance or investigation writing—not as legal advice or a substitute for jurisdiction-specific law and supervisory rules.

FATF — official glossary (reference)

Educational routing only. This skill does not mirror glossary entries. Use the live page for wording, updates, and context.

Canonical URL

  • FATF Glossary — Financial Action Task Force (FATF) terminology as published on the official site.

FATF is the intergovernmental body that sets international AML/CFT standards (notably the 40 Recommendations). Its glossary aligns vocabulary across mutual evaluations, national implementation, and sector guidance (including virtual asset / VASP-related materials where those terms appear in FATF outputs).

When to load this skill

  • Disambiguating compliance and financial crime terms in reports, tickets, or training.
  • Cross-checking labels before citing FATF concepts next to on-chain or screening workflows.
  • Avoiding ad-hoc definitions when a standard international term exists.

Guardrails

  • Not legal or regulatory advice — the glossary helps terminology; obligations depend on your jurisdiction and regulator.
  • Supersession — national law and supervisory guidance prevail over informal paraphrases; verify primary sources for filings and programs.
  • Updates — FATF may revise definitions; link to or quote from the current page for material work products.

Goal: a single blockint pointer to the FATF Glossary for consistent AML/CFT language alongside chain and investigation skills.
