We held a webinar on "South Africa's Non-Profit Sectoral Risk Assessment and the Path Forward" on August 14, 2024 with  over 175 attendees joining us for this informative session. Feedback indicated a wide range of understanding regarding anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) regulations as they apply to the non-profit sector.

The presentations by our esteemed speakers, Ben Evans, Lizé van Schoor, and Thalia Malmberg, provided valuable insights into the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) guidelines and their implications for South African NPOs.
