Subject: Strategic Analysis Report of the Unit for Combating Money Laundering (MOKAS) for 2023 - 2024
Purpose: To inform Regulated Entities that MOKAS has published its Strategic Analysis Report for 2023 – 2024.
In Summary:
CySEC has issued the Circular C733 on 03/10/2025 to inform the Cyprus Investment Firms (‘CIFs’), Administrative Service Providers (‘ASPs’), UCITS Management Companies (‘UCITS MC’), Self-Managed UCITS (‘SM UCITS’), Alternative Investment Fund Managers (‘AIFMs’), Self-Managed Alternative Investment Funds (‘SMAIFs’), Self-Managed Alternative Investment Funds with Limited Number of Persons (‘SM AIFLNP’), Companies with sole purpose the management of AIFLNPs, Small Alternative Investment Fund Managers (‘Small AIFMs’), and Crypto Asset Service Providers, that the Unit for Combating Money Laundering (the ‘MOKAS’ or the ‘Unit’) has published its Strategic Analysis Report for 2023 - 2024 (the ‘Report’).
The Report is available in English.
The Report was prepared by MOKAS, following a thematic analysis of the Suspicious Transaction Reports (the ‘STRs’) submitted to it during the years 2023-2024.
The Report provides the Regulated Entities with information regarding the trends and methods of Money Laundering/Terrorism Financing (the ‘ML/TF’), as they emerge from the STRs. Furthermore, it provides valuable information on trends and practices for ML/TF, based on the data held by MOKAS, thereby contributing to the categorization of ML/TF threats, prioritizing the analysis of Reports (STRs/SARs) in a risk-based approach and more effective allocation of existing resources.
In accordance with Circular C733, CySEC encourages the Regulated Entities to study the MOKAS’ Strategic Analysis Report and make use of the information provided.
