KDS Advocates is pleased to announce that Partner David Kipruto has successfully completed an advanced Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) training organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in partnership with the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
The training focused on AML/CFT compliance in East Africa, equipping lawyers with the skills to identify, prevent, and report suspicious transactions. This milestone comes shortly after the amendments to the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act (POCAMLA), which now designate lawyers as reporting agents and formally recognize the LSK as a reporting institution.
“This training enhances our firm’s capacity to protect our clients and ensure full compliance with evolving AML/CFT regulations in Kenya and the wider East African region,”
said David Kipruto, Partner at KDS Advocates.
With these developments, KDS Advocates is uniquely positioned to advise clients on:
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance strategies
- Risk assessment and reporting obligations under POCAMLA
- Legal advisory on combating terrorism financing
- Corporate governance, integrity, and regulatory best practices
As financial crime and terrorism financing become increasingly sophisticated, businesses and professionals in East Africa must stay ahead of compliance requirements. At KDS Advocates, we remain committed to helping clients navigate complex AML/CFT laws, safeguard their operations, and align with international financial integrity standards.
