All charities are vulnerable to the risk of having their funds and other assets misused for the purpose of terrorism financing. However, charities that operate overseas, or that send money overseas, are particularly vulnerable to terrorism financing risks. Ensuring your charity has appropriate governance, oversight and record-keeping measures in place can help protect it from having its assets misused.
