Stakeholders in the anti-money laundering architecture yesterday signed two co-operation memoranda, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
The signings came as Guyana wraps up its preparation for its Mutual Evaluation Exercise to be conducted from the 4th to 15th of September, 2023 by the Caribbean Financial Action Taskforce (CFATF).
DPI said that these MoUs are designed to create a framework for greater inter-agency collaboration and cooperation on matters relating to organised crime and Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) issues.
At yesterday’s event, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs and the Chairman of Guyana’s AML/CFT National Taskforce, Anil Nandlall SC thanked the participants for their work in preparing for this nationally important exercise.
He cautioned about the consequences which can flow if Guyana’s AML/CFT architecture is found to be inadequate or inefficient. The Attorney General also outlined the work done over the past two years in order to prepare the country for this important exercise.
