Recommendation 1 (Risk-Based Approach): countries should identify + assess + understand their money laundering / terrorist financing risks + apply a RISK-BASED APPROACH to ensure that measures to prevent or mitigate ML/TF are commensurate with the risks identified. Countries should require financial institutions + DNFBPs to identify + assess + understand their own ML/TF risks + take action to mitigate them. The risk-based approach is the foundational principle of the entire FATF regime. National Risk Assessments (NRAs) are conducted periodically (typically every 3-5 years). Recommendation 2 (National Cooperation): countries should have national AML/CFT policies + designate authorities or coordination mechanisms to develop + implement those policies; ensure inter-agency cooperation including between policymakers + financial intelligence units (FIUs) + law enforcement + supervisors. The R.1/R.2 framework anchors the entire FATF regime in country-level risk assessment + national coordination architecture.
