The Customer Due Diligence (CDD) Guidelines for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs), issued by the Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA), provide a comprehensive framework to help these sectors comply with Uganda’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations.

At the recent 48th Taskforce of Senior Officials and ESAAMLG Council of Ministers meeting, Uganda reached a key milestone in its efforts to combat financial crimes. The task force approved Uganda’s request to re-rate on four critical Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations—namely, Recommendations 19, 24, 26, and 34- now considered Largely Compliant (LC). This approval marks a significant step forward in the country's ongoing work to strengthen its Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT), and Counter-Proliferation Financing (CPF) measures.

The Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA) is proud to be actively participating in the 48th Task Force of Senior Officials Meeting hosted by the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) in Diani, Kenya.
