Scenarios concerning beneficiaries that should be included in this FATF Guidance;
Activities that may be included in the definition of trust administrations;
Suggested approaches to identify, assess, and mitigate the ML/TF risks linked with different types of legal arrangements; and
Further recommendations offered to the FATF for consideration.
