To strengthen its risk based approach in managing money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) risks in the banking sector, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has drafted a Guidance Note on Conducting Money Laundering/ Terrorism Financing Risk Assessment. The Guidance Note is intended to supplement the CBK’s Prudential Guideline on Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CBK/PG/08) which requires institutions to carry out ML/TF risk assessment to facilitate the identification, assessment, management and mitigation of associated risks.

CBK invites comments on the draft Guidance Note through the email address fin@centralbank.go.ke by Wednesday, January 31, 2018. Download the Guidance Note…
