TESTING OF GoAML REPORTING PORTAL HAS BEEN STARTED ON THE COMMERCIAL BANKS.

The Financial Information Unit has been working on domestification of GoAML software, which was developed by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for the unit to launch a unified portal for all stakeholders to introduce an advanced technology in information collection operation and report it accordingly, within the framework of the law on Countering Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism from the first quarter of 2020. The US Department of the Treasury provided technical assistance to introduce this software.

Finally, the Financial Information Unit has started testing the goAML reporting portal on the commercial banks on March 25, 2021.

This portal enables the compliance officers of the commercial bank to register itself as a reporting entity, to enter a transaction report to be reported under the Law on Countering Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism manually, to submit it in xml format and to verify xml reports. Additionally, it allows to create new secure environment for exchanging data, to receive statistics and to exchange messages with the Financial Information Unit.
