Bad ratings for Austria - critical FATF assessment of Austria’s anti-money laundering system

The FATF published today its assessment of Austria’s anti-money laundering (AML) and counter financing of terrorism (CFT) regime in which Austria was found to have a solid AML framework but to fall short in its effective implementation.

The Basel Institute has been been analysing the FATF evaluations since 2012. We have issued a press release (in German and English) on Austria’s assessment along with a comparative table of the 18 countries recently assessed by the FATF on the basis of its new assessment methodology.
