Overview & Responsibilities
The Financial Reporting Centre (FRC) was established under Article 20 (1) of Somalia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Act of 2016 to serve as Somalia’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) responsible for receiving, requesting, analysing and appropriately disseminating information concerning money laundering and terrorist financing.
The role of the FRC is to help rebuild the trust in the Somali financial system and promote the confidence level of international banks and governments in the Banks and Money Transfer Businesses (MTBs) that operate in Somalia by preventing Banks and MTBs from being used for money laundering and terrorism financing. The FRC does this by:
Receiving, analysing and disseminating reports suspected of money laundering and terrorism financing
The Middle East and North African Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF) is a FATF-Style regional body that works to combat money laundering and terrorist financing in the Middle East and North Africa region. Somalia has been a member of MENAFATF since 2018 and is scheduled to undergo its first Mutual Evaluation Review (MER) in 2024. As a comprehensive assessment of a country’s AML/CFT framework, the MER will examine the legal and regulatory framework, the implementation of AML/CFT measures, and the effectiveness of Somalia’s AML/CFT regime. The review will identify areas where Somalia’s AML/CFT system can be improved and will contribute to strengthening the country’s capacity to combat money laundering and terrorist financing in the long run.
The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) as the only intergovernmental organization exclusively devoted to promoting the rule of law, IDLO works to enable governments and empower people to reform laws and strengthen institutions to realize justice, peace and sustainable development. Its programs, research and policy advocacy cover the spectrum of rule of law from peace and institution building, to social development and economic recovery in countries emerging from conflict and striving towards democracy. For over 33 years IDLO has supported emerging economies and middle-income countries to strengthen their legal capacity and rule of law framework for sustainable development and economic opportunity. IDLO enjoys Observer Status at the United Nations General Assembly. Its headquarters are in Rome, with a Branch Office in The Hague, liaison offices for the United Nations in New York and Geneva, and Country Offices including in Afghanistan, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Somalia, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Uganda, and Ukraine.
