Moneyval Committee: activities

Money

Money laundering directly threatens the rule of law. It provides organised crime with its cash flow and investment capital, and the incentive to commit more proceeds-generating crime nationally and trans-nationally. In addition, organised terrorist groups also misuse the world’s financial system to fund their illegal operation.

The Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures (MONEYVAL) was established in 1997 as an evaluation and peer pressure mechanism. Its aim is to ensure that its member states have in place effective systems to counter money laundering and terrorist financing and comply with the relevant international standards in these fields.

MONEYVAL also conducts typologies studies of money laundering and terrorist financing methods, trends and techniques.

Twenty-eight member states are under MONEVAL evaluation. In 2006, the Committee of Ministers accepted the application of Israel to join MONEYVAL as an active observer participating in its mutual evaluation processes.
