The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission has approved electronic reporting templates requiring Capital Market Operators to submit various Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism returns via a consolidated grid. Hard copy submissions are no longer accepted, and strict statutory compliance with the newly uploaded templates is mandatory for all designated reports. The updated framework supplements existing Financial, Suspicious, and Currency Transaction Reports under the amended Money Laundering Prohibition Act of 2011.
