Mission and objectives

The Financial Analysis Unit (UAF) is a decentralized public service, with its own legal personality and assets, and is related to the President of the Republic of Chile, through the Ministry of Finance. The objective of the UAF is to prevent and impede the use of the financial system, and other sectors of Chilean economic activity, for the commission of the crimes of money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF). To this end, it carries out financial intelligence, issues regulations, monitors compliance, imposes administrative sanctions, trains and disseminates public information, and develops inter-institutional cooperation actions.

Context

FATF (Financial Action Task Force) requires countries to identify, assess, and understand the money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing risks they are exposed to. Once these risks are understood, countries are tasked with implementing anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and anti-proliferation financing measures to mitigate the risks found. The countries that publish information about these risks to the public do so in the form of a national risk assessment (NRA). The goal of publishing risk assessments is to increase global understanding of ML/TF risks and help other countries identify where they may have vulnerabilites. With the translation to English we will be able to reach a bigger audience and promote the access and understanding of money laundering risks of Chile. The selected volunteer may be subject to signing a disclousure agreement.
