Echo Evidence Brief

Plain-language explanation for first-time readers — side-by-side echo comparison, verbatim primary-source excerpts, and X-discourse discovery context (not tier evidence).

FATF (Financial Action Task Force) published the global instrument first (Global precedent precedes Korea; 2021–2025). 금융위원회 then adopted Korean text using the same policy vocabulary. Matched terms: "originator and beneficiary information" ↔ "송·수신자 정보 수집·전송 의무". Read the side-by-side comparison and verbatim primary-source excerpts below.
