AML Framework Setup & Implementation in Rwanda
AML Compliance in Rwanda
At SOKRAB Advisory, we support organizations in Rwanda in designing and implementing complete Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) frameworks that are practical, compliant, and ready for regulatory inspection.
We go beyond policy drafting by helping clients build a fully operational AML environment, aligned with requirements of the National Bank of Rwanda and the Financial Intelligence Centre Rwanda
What is an AML Framework
An AML framework is the foundation of your compliance function.
It defines how your organization:
- Identifies and assesses financial crime risks
- Establishes policies and procedures
- Performs customer due diligence (KYC/CDD/EDD)
- Conducts screening and monitoring
- Reports suspicious transactions
- Maintains governance and oversight
Our AML Approach

- Roles and responsibilities definition
