Guideline 8: Written cooperation and information-sharing agreement

8.1 For each AML/CFT college, the lead supervisor and the permanent members should have a written cooperation and information-sharing arrangement (the ‘AML/CFT cooperation agreement’) in place, and should address, with regard to the permanent members, at least:

• (a) the scope of mutual assistance, cooperation and information exchange;
• (b) the process to be followed for the provision of mutual assistance, including requests for cooperation and information exchange;
• (c) coordination of supervisory actions (including joint inspections);
• (d) confidentiality restrictions and permissible uses of information;
• (e) the rules governing the settlement of disputes; and
• (f) the language that should be used for communications within the AML/CFT college.

8.2 The lead supervisor should complete a template of the AML/CFT cooperation agreement provided in Annex II for all AML/CFT colleges. When the template AML/CFT cooperation agreement is used, prior approval from permanent members is not required. The lead supervisor should communicate the finalised AML/CFT cooperation agreement to all permanent members and observers and to the consolidating supervisor, where relevant.

8.3 The lead supervisor should amend the AML/CFT cooperation agreement referred to in Guideline 8.2 if it considers it necessary or upon request from one or more permanent members. The lead supervisor should transmit the amended AML/CFT cooperation agreement to all permanent members and observers. The lead supervisor should finalise the written agreement, having regard to any views expressed by the permanent members at least to the extent that they were received within a set deadline. The lead supervisor should communicate the final AML/CFT cooperation agreement to all permanent members and observers.

8.4 The lead supervisor should keep the AML/CFT cooperation agreement referred to in Guideline 8.2 or 8.3 under review and update it where necessary, subject to prior consultation with permanent members.
