How packs are maintained
Understand the sources and review dates.
Start with official sources
Each guide links to laws, FATF and regional body reports, and guidance from supervisors and financial intelligence units. Supporting news and professional commentary are labelled in the section sources.
Check changes at the source
Laws, supervisory guidance and FATF assessments can change between reviews. Use the linked official source to confirm the current position and the rules for your sector.
See what was updated
Every guide shows its review date and an editorial update note. Reading times are estimates; self-checks are for your own practice and do not record a course score.
Country guides are for general education and are not legal or regulatory advice. Always rely on the official source for compliance decisions.
