G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG)
An initiative established in 2010 to provide the G20 with recommendations on how to combat corruption on an international level.
The G20 ACWG aims to promote and strengthen the implementation of global anti-corruption regulatory frameworks, by leveraging the authority of the G20, an intergovernmental forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union. The ACWG produces multi-year action plans that are updated periodically to prioritize anti-corruption action points in several areas, including the ratification of relevant anti-corruption conventions, promotion of international cooperation, reducing the enforcement gap, and strengthening standards of transparency and integrity in the public and private sectors.
The ACWG cooperates with relevant international organizations such as UNODC, OECD, the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). It also works closely with other G20 Working Groups on pertinent anti-corruption issues to determine best practices in tackling corruption. Accordingly, the group prepares annual reports to track member implementation of commitments and prepares outputs in the form of high-level principles aimed at developing anti-corruption laws, policies, and procedures in the G20 countries.

Gatekeepers
Professional firms and financial institutions in the regulated sectors which are a potential entry point for those involved in money laundering who are seeking to place and layer dirty money into the global financial system.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and domestic regulatory authorities regard as gatekeepers those in the regulated sectors who play a key role in opening or closing the door to dirty money. The gatekeepers are covered by AML laws and regulations and are usually expected to have in place AML compliance procedures. The term is considered more neutral and less pejorative than the designation professional enablers.
