STR Guidance

Preparing and Submitting High Quality STRs – SARs

The objective of this Guidance Note is to promote and engender a high quality of excellence among financial sector stakeholders, in the preparation and reporting of suspicious transactions and/or suspicious activity, to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

The information is useful to the FIU’s development of critical intelligence that can assist law enforcement in domestic and international money laundering and terrorist financing investigations and other criminal cases. STRs also enable the FIU to develop typologies as it relates to anti-money laundering, combating the financing of terrorism and proliferation financing (AML/CFT/ PF) matters in both the regulated and unregulated sectors.
