Human Security Collective

Welcome to Risky Business, a podcast by Human Security Collective, which interrogates how nonprofits are caught up in FATF’s counter-terrorism financing framework. How do you alleviate the overregulation, suppression, and financial exclusion faced by NPOs caught in a web of regulations and policies aimed at combating financial crime? Do we stick to an evolutionary approach, refining FATF's Recommendations or consider a revolutionary approach? Join us as we unpack these issues, focusing on the Recommendation itself, the national context, the market, and on FATF accountability and transparency.

    Intro

    Welcome to Risky Business, a podcast by Human Security Collective, which interrogates how nonprofits are caught up in the FATF counter-terrorism financing framework. How do you alleviate the unwarranted overregulation, suppression and financial exclusion faced by NPOs caught in a web of legislative, regulatory and policy developments set up to combat financial crime? Do we stick to an evolutionary approach, and keep refining the FATF Recommendations and their implementation at national level or should we think about a more revolutionary approach? Join us to unpack these issues as we focus on the particular Recommendation itself, the national context, the market, and on FATF accountability and transparency.
