The sectoral experts were also engaged to provide valuable insights and share their experiences in the implementation of the AML/CFT regime. They focused on customer risk profiling, customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, record keeping, red flag indicators and STR generation.

The sessions concluded with the discussion on FAQs on implementation of the SECP AML/CFT regime.
