FATF Diagnostic

How exposed is your institution to the next FATF evaluation?

Mexico is going through the Financial Action Task Force mutual evaluation. The AML/CFT recommendations and the real effectiveness of the system are reviewed point by point, and the outcome affects the country’s access to international correspondents. SOFOMs, SOFIPOs and IFPEs with open gaps add to the country profile. A short interactive diagnostic to learn your exposure and the critical findings to close before the visit.

What FATF evaluates

The dimensions under scrutiny in the evaluation.

  • Dimension

    Technical compliance with the FATF recommendations

    A point-by-point review of how the Mexican framework meets the international AML/CFT standards of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF / GAFI).

  • Dimension

    Real effectiveness of the system

    Having the law on paper is not enough. FATF evaluates whether institutions effectively identify, mitigate and report money laundering and terrorism financing risks.

  • Dimension

    Quality of UIF reports

    Volume, timeliness and technical quality of ROU/ROP/ROIP reports submitted via SITI. Late or inconsistent reporting counts as a systemic gap.

  • Dimension

    Effective oversight by CNBV

    Inspections, observations, sanctions and follow-up. Pending findings at a regulated institution feed the country report.

How it impacts your institution

Consequences that move from the country report to the individual file.

Systemic gaps with individual consequences

Every SOFOM, SOFIPO or IFPE with open observations adds to the country profile. Closing your own regulatory file before the evaluation is not just institutional defense — it is contribution to the national outcome.

Greylist status affects access to the international financial system

If Mexico falls to the FATF greylist, international correspondents apply enhanced due diligence to transactions to and from the country. That impacts cross-border disbursements, foreign supplier payments and funding operations.

Higher probability of CNBV visits after the evaluation

Historically, FATF recommendations translate into intensified supervision over the segments identified as gaps — and small and mid-size SOFOMs tend to be flagged.

How the diagnostic helps

An objective exposure score and the points to concentrate effort on.

In a few minutes you answer concrete questions on KYC, SITI reports, the compliance officer, recent audits and prior observations. The scoring engine adjusts findings by institution type (SOFOM ER/ENR, SOFIPO Levels I-IV, IFPE) and returns the result in three components:

  • · Exposure score with risk zone (red, yellow, green).
  • · The most critical personalized findings.
  • · Downloadable PDF report with sector benchmarks.

Who it applies to

SOFOM ER and ENR, SOFIPO of all levels and IFPE. The scoring automatically adjusts findings by figure and level.

Estimated time

A few minutes for the questionnaire. The PDF report is generated at completion.
