Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has issued the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism guidelines for Non-Profitable Organizations on the basis of recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force.  

The guidelines contain an elaborate explanation of the terrorist financing process, risk factors for NPOs, fundamental principles of good practice, and measures to enhance good governance and ensure transparency and financial accountability. 

These guidelines will not only assist in improving Pakistan's outlook by encouraging increased adherence to the applicable standards and recommendations, but will also complement enhancing  the level of understanding about the due diligence required.

Pakistan is a member of The Asia Pacific Group (APG) on Money Laundering and is required to adopt FATF standards as per membership obligations.
