BEIRUT, July 14 (Reuters) - Lebanon's central bank signed an agreement on Monday with U.S. risk management advisory firm K2 Integrity aimed at combating illegal activities and fraud, according to a statement.

The agreement is part of the central bank's efforts to come off the global financial crime watchdog FATF's "grey list" of countries under special scrutiny.

FATF placed Lebanon on the list last October.
