Q99: Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) are considered "High Risk" for terrorist financing. Which of the following statements regarding the global standards (FATF Recommendation 8) and compliance risks are correct?
FATF Recommendation 8 requires countries to ensure that NPOs are not misused by terrorist organizations to pose as legitimate entities or to divert funds to conflict zones.
In 2025, the FATF introduced a mechanism for NPOs to report "Unintended Consequences," where countries misapply these standards to suppress legitimate civil society or human rights groups under the guise of stopping terror funding.
For NPOs operating in conflict zones, the "Know Your Beneficiary" (KYB) principle is as critical as "Know Your Donor," requiring them to verify that the ultimate recipients of aid are not linked to designated terrorist entities.

✅ Correct Answer: D
The correct answer is Option D. FATF Rec 8 targets NPO misuse.
The 2025 update addresses "unintended consequences" (harassment of NGOs). KYB is essential in conflict zones.
