Te tiaki i ngā pūtea tāwāhi a tō rōpū monihua-kore Protecting your not-for-profit's overseas funds

Does your not-for-profit organisation send funds overseas? You need to be careful that your overseas funds are not misused:

• to finance or support terrorists
• to launder money (hide that it's from illegal sources like crime).

Who is at risk

The organisations at most risk of misuse:

• are doing ‘service’ work near an active terrorist threat
• send funds to connected not-for-profits and charities located in or close to countries where terrorists operate.

Make sure your money goes to the right places 

Your organisation should have procedures to:

• stop funds going directly, or indirectly, to any person or organisation associated with terrorism
• make sure that no support is given to any person or organisation that might commit crimes in New Zealand or other countries.
