FATF 40 Recommendations R.18: R.18 Internal controls and foreign branches and subsidiaries

Financial institutions implement programmes against money laundering and terrorist financing, financial groups implement group-wide programmes including policies and procedures for sharing information within the group for AML/CFT purposes, and institutions ensure that their foreign branches and majority-owned subsidiaries apply AML/CFT measures consistent with home country requirements through the group programme; the Interpretive Note specifies the programme's elements (compliance management including a compliance officer at management level, screening of employees, ongoing training, an independent audit function), the group-wide sharing of customer, account and transaction information including from branches and subsidiaries for risk management, and the treatment of host countries that do not permit implementation of the home standards.
