The APG Strategic Plan 2009-2012 provides a continued mandate for an integrated approach to addressing implementation issues, including the establishment of an APG Working Group on Implementation Issues. The fifth Goal of the Strategic Plan is to “Provide assistance to APG members to implement the global AML/CFT standards through implementation planning and the provision of guidance.” The strategies to achieve this goal include:

1.      Support and promote the work of APG Working Groups and Project Groups to explore and address specific AML/CFT implementation issues in depth.

2.      Provide in-country, and regional, advice to assist APG members to develop AML/CFT implementation plans that reflect the priorities of individual member jurisdictions and the Asia/Pacific region using the Strategic Implementation Planning (SIP) Framework, and working in collaboration with global partners.

3.      Provide advice and assist members to implement and integrate the AML/CFT global standards with their existing legal, financial and law enforcement systems of each jurisdiction.

4.      Develop and share comprehensive information resources to assist APG members with AML/CFT implementation.

The APG has established an Implementation Issues Working Group (IIWG) to explore and address specific AML/CFT implementation issues in depth.  The APG is also actively involved in discussions with the FATF, IMF and the World Bank on implementation issues in low capacity members and non-members.
