ASF Governance & Policy Manual · ASF-POL-24

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing

Part of the ASF Governance & Policy Manual. Adapted from the PHIG Institutional Policy Manual (consolidated edition, September 2026) for donor due-diligence readiness (US, EU, UN and French government funders) alongside ISQua Organisation Accreditation.

ASF will not let its accounts, membership fees or partnerships be used to hide the origin of criminal money or to finance terrorism. Owner: ASF Secretariat, reporting to the International Standards Council.

Legal framework: French anti-money-laundering law applicable to associations (Code monétaire et financier), with suspicious transactions reportable to Tracfin (Traitement du Renseignement et Action contre les Circuits FInanciers clandestins), EU anti-money-laundering rules, and the requirements of any donor or government ASF applies to.

Membership and assessment fee payments are accepted only through traceable bank transfer, never cash above a published threshold. Suspicious payment patterns are reported under Feedback, Complaints and Incident Management (ASF-POL-21) and, where legally required, to the relevant French authority.
