From 24-28 February 2020, MONEYVAL - jointly with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) - held an assessor training workshop in Berlin, Germany. 50 prospective assessors (originating from a total of 31 different countries from four different continents) received training on the 2012 FATF Recommendations and the 2013 FATF Methodology. Participants heard a key address by Dr Marcus Pleyer, Vice-President of the FATF.

MONEYVAL wishes to extend its gratitude to the German Federal Ministry of Finance and the Federal Academy for Security Policy in Berlin for hosting this event.

The Committee would also like to warmly thank the trainers (Mr John Ringguth, Mr Yehuda Shaffer, Mr Richard Walker and Mr Michael Stellini) for their invaluable input and their longstanding commitment to MONEYVAL activities.
