The FCA has published a webpage with a list of countries considered high risk in relation to the FCA’s financial crime objectives, which are linked to tackling money laundering, sanctions systems and controls, terrorist financing, and bribery and corruption. The publication comes after the FCA was forced by a Freedom of Information Act request to release the information. The FCA has explained that the list is used in supervisory visits to assist supervisors in focussing on higher risk business relationships.
