SUMMARY:TRAINING ON ENHANCING AML/CFT/CFP COMPLIANCE AND STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONAL RESILIENCE ON AML/CTF/CPF
DESCRIPTION:Background:\n\nCurrently Tanzania AML/CFT/CFP landscape is still marred with deficiencies that require awareness of the reporting persons across the board to ensure full realization of effectiveness of measures introduced by the authorities to address the deficiencies in the country’s AML/CFT/CFP regime. These deficiencies include: \n\n\n\nPersistent Non-Compliance with Risk-Based Approach (RBA) requirements by both financial institutions and DNFBPs (i.e. lawyers\, accountants\, real estate agents\, dealers in precious stones/metals). DNFBPs in particular lack proper ML/TF risk assessments and risk-based procedures.\n\n\n\n\nLow Level of Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STRs)\nThe number and quality of STRs from most financial institutions and DNFBPs remain critically low\, suggesting inadequate understanding of red flags and lack of effective STR detection system and reporting mechanism.\nIneffective customer due diligence\n\nDue diligence is the first weapon for effective prevention and detection of money laundering and terrorist financing. However\, most reporting persons do not apply risk based customer due diligence. This signify lack of awareness and appropriate tools. \n\nGaps in Beneficial Ownership (BO) Transparency Compliance\nAll reporting persons in one way or another are often involved in transactions with complex legal entities\, yet many fail to collect\, verify\, and update BO information adequately.\nMisunderstanding of Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS)\nThere is limited awareness and implementation of TFS obligations under UNSCRs 1267 and 1373 for terrorism and proliferation financing.\n\n\n\n\nEmerging Threats from new technologies\, Crypto-assets and High-Value Goods\nAs fintech develop exponentially so do the financial crimes. Reporting persons need to be kept abreast of risks associated new technologies and their identification and formulation of mitigation measures. In addition\, tailored guidance on identifying ML/TF/PF risks in these evolving issues is required.\nEver tightening AML/CFT compliance measures (FATF Evaluations and Enforcement Pressure)\nWith increasing AML/CFT compliance regulatory requirements (including FATF and FSRB evaluations increasingly scrutinizing effectiveness (not just technical compliance)\, financial and DNFBPs must show proactive compliance and awareness.\nLack of Institutionalized Compliance Functions\nMany DNFBPs lack designated AML/CFT Compliance Officers or internal policies\, procedures\, and controls tailored to their size and risk profile.\nTraining and Awareness Deficiencies\nStaff turnover and limited access to quality AML/CFT/CFP training perpetuate non-compliance.\n\n\n\nACAS\, a Tanzania’s premier AML/CFT/CFP advisory firm\, is pleased to invite all Reporting Persons to a practical and high-impact AML/CFT/CFP Compliance Training scheduled for 15th -17th July\, 2025 be held in Dar es salaam at a venue to be disclosed soon. \nThis training comes at a crucial time when regulators and global bodies (FATF\, ESAAMLG\, World Bank\, IMF\, etc.) spotlight on AML/CFT effectiveness and risk-based implementation is intensifying. ACAS will equip you with the tools to mitigate compliance risk\, demonstrate institutional effectiveness\, and avoid imposition of both criminal and administrative sanctions. \n\n2.0    Training Topics\nThe training will focus on the following very important issues in the AML/CFT/CFP regime: \n\nApplying the Risk-Based Approach (RBA) effectively;\nFiling quality Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs);\nConducting effective customer due diligence;\nImplementing Beneficial Ownership (BO) transparency obligations;\nUnderstanding and applying Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS);\nAddressing ML/TF/PF sectoral risks; and\nEstablishing internal compliance controls and policies.\n\n\n3.0     Targeted sectors\nAll Reporting Persons under the AML /CFT/CFP legislations including: \n\nBanks and financial institutions\nInsurers and intermediaries (brokers and agents)\nSecurity dealers and brokers\nMoney transmitters\nOperators of bureau de change\nCollective Investment Scheme Managers\nLawyers\, Notaries\, Legal Professionals\nAccountants\, Auditors\, Tax Advisors\nReal Estate Agents & Brokers\nDealers in Precious Metals and Stones\nTrust & Company Service Providers\nCasino/gaming Operators\n\n  \n4.0    Who Should Attend \n\nCompliance Officers\nMoney Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs)\n\n  \n5.0    Venue\, Date and Fee:  \nVenue: To be communicated upon registration \nDate: 17th July 2025\nTime: 8:30 AM – 17:00 PM\nFee: TZS 400\,000 per person (Includes Certificate of Attendance\, Training Materials Tea/Meals) \n  \n6.0    To Register:\nTo achieve efficiency each organization is requested to register at least two officers i.e. a compliance officer and MLRO. \nRegistration deadline is 10th July\, 2025 \nEmail: info@acas.co.tz\nPhone: : +255 0793327153 \nWebsite: www.acas.co.tz \nREGISTER EARLY TO SECURE YOUR SPOT!\nEmpower your institution.
