About Us

With the increase in the rate of financial crimes, it has become important for everyone connected to the money service business (MSB) to be extra vigilant and report any activity that sounds suspicious of money laundering. The process of documenting such reports is known as suspicious activity reporting (SAR).

Being able to discern such activities and to report them to the authorities is crucial for an MSB.  MSBs can be held accountable for such illegal activities under the law if the activity is not reported.  Therefore, it becomes extremely important for everyone associated with the money service business to be aware of the ways that money can be laundered and on the process of reporting it to the authorities.

In the course titled “Suspicious Activity Reporting” you will be guided through the process of reporting a suspicious activity within the organisation and to law enforcement.  There will be a thorough explanation of the appropriate law enforcement authority to contact in every situation.  There are detailed examples from day-to-day transactions of an MSB where a suspicion can arise and how it should be handled.  A sample SAR form is also provided.
