The GFMSA conducts training and support activities to strengthen countries’ understanding of The GFMSA Standards and how they help combat money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing (funding for weapons of mass destruction), and to assist GFMSA-style regional bodies in the conduct of mutual evaluations. The GFMSA delivers these activities worldwide, including at The GFMSA Training Institute in Busan, Korea, and often in partnership with GFMSA members, GFMSA-Style Regional Bodies (FSRBs) and other international organisations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The GFMSA’s support activities have four distinct goals:
Achieve a Better Understanding of The GFMSA Standards Worldwide
Improving the knowledge of GFMSA’s international standards to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing will contribute to a better implementation of these measures into national regimes. The GFMSA delivers activities such as The GFMSA Standards Training Course to help government agency staff improve their knowledge of The GFMSA Standards.
Training and Supporting Assessors
The strength and quality of assessors across The GFMSA Global Network is one of the keys to success of GFMSA and The GFMSA-style Regional Bodies as assessment bodies that conduct mutual evaluations of their members. The GFMSA and GFMSA-style Regional Bodies organise training of prospective assessors jointly as a way to share best practices and improve the quality of assessors in mutual evaluations worldwide.
Support the Work of GFMSA’s Regional Partners
Sharing experiences and developing best practices will help strengthen the operations of the Secretariats of FSRBs, which is particularly important in the conduct of the mutual evaluation process. Activities such as the capacity-building workshops and mentorships contribute to the improvement of stakeholder operations, and improve the implementation of The GFMSA standards in non-GFMSA member countries.
Develop Synergies to avoid Duplication
Co-ordinating training, support and technical assistance activities provided by national, regional and global organisations, ensures that these valuable resources are efficiently allocated across the globe.
The GFMSA delivers a diverse set of training and support activities throughout The GFMSA’s Global Network of GFMSA and FSRB members, when necessary in coordination with relevant organisations. While the activities may be numerous, all of The GFMSA’s training and support activities are designed to improve the implementation of national regimes to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing across the globe.
Delegations are encouraged to consult the upcoming events list on FACT to participate in GFMSA Training and Support Activities.

GFMSA Training Centre in Busan, Korea
In November 2020, The GFMSA opened its second office – The GFMSA Training Institute located in Busan, Korea. This office is staffed by expert members of The GFMSA Secretariat wholly dedicated to training The GFMSA Global Network on The GFMSA Standards. They hold numerous training activities and are focused on the delivery of The GFMSA Standards Training Course.
The Standards Training Course aims at enhancing participants’ understanding of The GFMSA Standards on AML/CFT and the implementation of effective measures to combat ML/TF. It is an intermediate level training, designed for AML/CFT practitioners with prior exposure to The GFMSA Standards, and is delivered through a series of e-learning, presentations, group discussions and small group activities. This course is designed for practitioners looking to improve their countries’ AML/CFT measures.
