General

What career opportunities are available at the FRC?

The Financial Reporting Centre recruitments from time to time will be public and will be advertised adequately in public media and on this website to give all interested persons an opportunity to participate. See the careers sections for details.

How can potential suppliers access FRC tenders?

Potential suppliers should check FRC website for any advertised tenders.

Is the FRC part of the Central Bank of Kenya?

No. The Financial Reporting Centre is a functionally independent State Corporation that administratively falls under the National Treasury.

What impact has the FRC had since inception?

The Financial Reporting Centre is mandated with gathering information, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence relating to financial crimes particularly money-laundering and terrorist-financing. The Centre does not investigate or prosecute offenders, and by necessity does not publicize its involvement in individual cases. You may therefore not have heard much about our work in individual cases but we are fairly active in cases involving money-laundering and terrorist-financing.

What if my question is not on this FAQ?

Feel free to email the Director General of the Centre using the contact given on this website. We will consider your question and may reply directly, or if the question is considered to be of general public interest, add it to our list of frequently asked questions.

Reporting

Can an individual submit a report to the FRC?

Reporting by individuals and institutions, other than reporting institutions is not envisaged in the POCAMLA Act. A non-reporting institution may therefore not submit Suspicious or Unusual Activity Reports to the Centre. However, communication with non-reporting institutions is in order and therefore an individual or non-reporting institution can communicate any relevant information to the Centre. The Centre will consider and appropriately act on any communication received.
