Does anyone know where I can find (or can make available) a comprehensive list that measures/ranks countries according to risks associated with terrorist funding, and money laundering?

Thanks

Your first stop should be here.

After that, you might consider:
the State Department's 'State Sponsors of Terror' list
the countries that are subject to OFAC sanctions
the OECD's list of offshore financial centers and tax havens
Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index.

Thanks for the info. I visited the sites and was surprised not to find any indication that Mexico should be treated as High Risk. Given the daily news reports of drug smuggling and related violence, I would have thought some government agency would have deemed it a High Risk country. Anyone know of a government agency issuing a heightened alert concerning Mexico?

I'm not sure how you missed it, but the State Department site does list Mexico as a "Countries/Jurisdictions of Primary Concern".

Yikes...borderline incompetence on my part. Thank goodness you were gracious enough to watch my back.

Your help was much appreciated.

Respect & Regards

A company called Financial Solutions has a useful list here. Click on CIP Quick Reference Chart - Countires of Concern. They update the list at least annually, and I recently spent some time comparing their list to government websites to check for accuracy. It appears to be reliable and complete.

Interesting that it doesn't list the United States.

We use Country Check from World-Check. It is super expensive, but an excellent tool. We use their rankings (with some minor tooling based on our experience with certain countries) to develop the risk scoring we use in our customer risk modeling.
