Brazil AML

Most Brazil country-risk notes I see are a single line. That's the gap: there are four answers, and they don't move together.

FATF's call-for-action list, FATF's increased-monitoring list, the EU's high-risk third-country list and Annex I of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions each answer a different question. When a client, a beneficial owner or a payment corridor touches Brazil, the file should record where Brazil stands on each one — not a blended verdict. It should also record the date you checked, because these lists change several times a year.

This week, pull the Brazil files and see whether the country-risk section names all four lists and the date. If it doesn't, that's the gap to close before the next review.
