These regulations are fully compliant with Financial Action Task Force Recommendations and Pakistan being a member of the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering is under obligation to adopt the same.

 

Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Shaukat Hussain highlighted the significance of sensitizing financial institutions and associations with charitable and not for profit objects regarding best practices to be adopted on AML/CFT framework. He stressed the importance of consultative group for sharing of knowledge and experiences on AML/CFT and compliance of FATF Recommendations. Furthermore, the Chairman SECP also shed light on the shared regulatory objectives and supervisory responsibilities of the SECP and NACTA on AML/CFT. He highlighted that through the JamaPunji programme, SECP has been able to reach large audiences and create awareness and sensitization with respect to AML/CFT obligations. The SECP Chairman also accentuated the fact that the SECP is fully cognizant of its responsibilities under the FATAF Action plan and APG mutual evaluation and is committed to taking necessary steps for proper implementation of the action plan

 

NACTA’s National Coordinator, Dr. Muhammad Sulaman Khan expressed his satisfaction over NACTA’s collaboration with SECP to achieve the broader national mandate of implementation of AML/CFT regime.
