The information generated from an STR, SAR, and other report type is important for identifying and combatting financial crime. First, the quality of STRs, SARs, and other report types is imperative for increasing the FIU’s analytical function to identify vulnerabilities and threats to the UAE financial system and develop an overall understanding of money laundering and the financing of terrorism and illegal organisations’ risks based on emerging trends and patterns. Relatedly, STRs, SARs, and other report types also assist law enforcement in detecting criminal actors and preventing the flow of illicit funds through the UAE financial system. Law enforcement uses the intelligence generated from STRs, SARs, and other report types to initiate and supplement money laundering or terrorist financing investigations and other criminal cases. As a result, it is critical that the information provided in all reports of suspicious activity be as accurate, timely, and complete as possible.
