This regional risk assessment was coordinated by AUSTRAC, Bank Negara Malaysia and Indonesia’s financial intelligence unit Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan (PPATK). It examines terrorism financing (TF) risks facing non-profit organisations (NPOs) in Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asian countries.

This assessment aims to enhance the capacity of the countries involved to understand and develop responses to better mitigate NPO risks, while also deepening the intelligence picture of regional TF risk. It is also a critical step for countries in meeting international standards to identify their subset of high-risk NPOs.
