From 24-28 September 2018, MONEYVAL, jointly with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Eurasian Group on Combatting Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (EAG), held an assessor training workshop in Moscow, Russian Federation. 43 prospective assessors (25 from MONEYVAL member states and jurisdictions) received training on the 2012 FATF Recommendations and the 2013 FATF Methodology.

MONEYVAL would like to thank the EAG, the Russian Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring) and the International Training and Methodology Centre for Financial Monitoring (ITMCFM) for hosting the training. Moreover, MONEYVAL wishes to extend its gratitude to its trainers, Mr Yehuda Shaffer and Mr Richard Walker, for their invaluable input and their longstanding commitment to MONEYVAL activities.
