Core Issues to be considered in determining if the IO is being achieved:

CI 1.1: How well does the country understand its ML/TF risks?

CI 1.2: How well are the identified ML/TF risks addressed by national AML/CFT policies and activities?

CI 1.3: To what extent are the results of the assessment(s) of risks properly used to justify exemptions and support the application of enhanced measures for higher risk scenarios, or simplified measures for lower risk scenarios?

CI 1.4: To what extent are the objectives and activities of the competent authorities and SRBs consistent with the evolving national AML/CFT policies and with the ML/TF risks identified?

CI 1.5: To what extent do the competent authorities and SRBs co-operate and co-ordinate the development and implementation of policies and activities to combat ML/TF and, where appropriate, PF?

CI 1.6: To what extent does the country ensure that respective financial institutions, DNFBPs and other sectors affected by the application of the FATF Standards are aware of the relevant results of the national ML/TF risk assessment(s)?
