Episode 6: How Useful is the FATF Terrorist Financing Typologies Report?
Jessica Davis, Stephen Reimer and host Tom Keatinge discuss the Financial Action Task Force’s recent report on terrorist financing.
In this latest episode of the STR podcast, host Tom Keatinge caught up with CFS Associate Fellows Jessica Davis and Stephen Reimer to review the Financial Action Task Force’s latest report on the means used by terrorists to raise funds and the wide variety of methods used to move money within and between organisations.
They consider that while the FATF update is undeniably comprehensive in terms of its scope and heft, they query whether it properly measures and evaluates the evolution of terrorist financing threats to allow a smarter and more nuanced approach to counter-terrorist financing.
