The Regional Risk Assessment of Terrorism Financing of Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs).

In 2016, under the co-leadership of AUSTRAC and Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan (PPATK), the world's first regional risk assessment on TF was launched at the second CTF Summit.

The RRA 2016 assessed a number of TF channels across Australia and South-East Asia. It identified NPOs as one of the main channels used to raise and transfer funds to support terrorist activity and violent extremism in the region and foreign high-risk countries. It also recommended countries to develop a clearer picture of the level of TF misuse and identify higher-risk NPOs and work together to provide a deeper understanding of the specific risks NPOs pose for the region.

Across the region, NPOs deliver a range of important services. They operate nationally, within the region and across the globe to support individuals and local communities, as well as deliver vital humanitarian aid. Some NPOs also perform an important role in combating terrorism through promoting deradicalisation.

For this assessment, the region includes countries involved in the RRA 2016 (Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand) and two new partner countries (Brunei and New Zealand). Under the coordination of AUSTRAC, Bank Negara Malaysia and PPATK, this assessment draws on information and expertise from the FIUs in these countries.

The First Regional Risk Assessment of Terrorism Financing of Non Profit Organisations was launched on 22 November 2017 by YAB Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Australian Minister for Justice, the Hon. Micheal Keenan and the Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, the Hon. Minister Wiranto.

The 3rd CTF Summit held in Kuala Lumpur in 2017, brought together 445 delegations from 32 countries and 6 international organisations. There were 60 speakers and experts from around the globe who shared their expertise from various backgrounds which included Fintech/RegTech players, financial institutions, law enforcement, FIUs, regulators/supervisors, academia and think tanks.

The Kuala Lumpur Communiqué reflected the success of the 3rd CTF Summit, which re-affirms commitments made in the previous summits as well as pave ways for new areas and scopes of co-operation, and the work that will continue for the 4th CTF Summit in Thailand.

    KUALA LUMPUR COMMUNIQUÉ
