The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) issued Decision No. 121 of 2019 to establish regulatory controls for registering Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) officers within non-banking financial entities. The decision mandates compliance with specific qualification and operational standards for these designated officers to ensure effective oversight. It directly applies to all licensed non-banking financial institutions operating under the Authority’s jurisdiction, thereby standardizing AML/CFT governance across the sector.
