The Comoros regulate money laundering and terrorist financing through Ordinance No. 09-002/PR (2009), supported by the Service de Renseignement Financier, which receives and analyses suspicious transaction reports.
Regulated entities must apply customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners, monitor relationships, and report suspicious activity to the SRF, alongside supervision from the Banque Centrale des Comores. The Comoros are a member of GIABA, the FATF-style regional body for West Africa. Supervisors expect a designated compliance officer, sound internal controls, and staff training.
