The lecture focused on educating participants about their obligations under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, and emphasized the importance of compliance with Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML\/CFT) frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the session, facilitators highlighted the legal framework governing AML\/CFT compliance, the responsibilities of NPOs in preventing money laundering and terrorism financing, reporting obligations, record-keeping requirements, and the consequences of non-compliance with SCUML regulations. Participants were also enlightened on SCUML\u2019s mandate to monitor, supervise, and regulate the activities of NPOs and DNFBPs across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture therefore served as a timely intervention to equip organizations with the knowledge required to align their operations with national and international regulatory standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
