The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) year begins in July and ends in June. During this period, the FATF holds three plenary meetings, a meeting of experts on typologies and, depending on the focus of current work, inter-session meetings and meetings of various ad hoc groups. The plenary meetings usually take place in October, February and June of each year.
Most FATF Plenaries take place in the conference facilities of the OECD in Paris. The meeting of experts on typologies takes place in November of each year and is usually now held jointly with an FATF-style regional body in the country chosen by that body. All of these meetings are only open to delegations from FATF members, observer jurisdictions and observer organizations. They are not open to the public.
The FATF Calendar of Events includes the major FATF meetings along with the meetings of other FATF-style regional bodies and some international organizations that also deal with money laundering issues.
