According to FATF research, terrorist financiers and those who launder money are increasingly employing intricate business contracts to obscure their financial transactions. These agreements frequently involve attorneys, accountants, and business secretaries. Based on these typologies, FATF standards mandate that nations enhance their anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) procedures connected to DNFBPs. Designated Non-Financial Companies and Professions is the abbreviation for this phrase. The FATF uses this word to describe any industry or occupation that presents a risk of money laundering but is not a financial institution. Due to possible ML/TF abuse, this industry is risky.
