Guidance on the risk-based approach to combatting money laundering and terrorist financing .: FD4-6/2016E-PDF

"The object of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and its Regulations is to detect and deter money laundering and terrorism financing. In 2008, the Government of Canada introduced amendments to the PCMLTFA and its Regulations to enhance the Canadian anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing (AML/ATF) regime. As part of these amendments, the Risk-Based Approach (RBA), which requires reporting entities to conduct assessments of their exposure to money laundering and terrorism financing risk using a number of prescribed criteria, was introduced. These criteria are further discussed in this document. FINTRAC has also provided guidance on this matter in Guideline 4: Implementation of a Compliance Regime"--Intro., p. 3.
