𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈: #𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 Director International Relations, @ThefiaU, @BBesigye_ reassured #NPOs that being classified as high-risk for #TerroristFinancing should not automatically result in de-risking by banks or the shutdown of organizations. Instead, regulators work in collaboration with these NPOs to prevent abuse, strengthen internal safeguards against TF, and protect the integrity of the sector. @NGObureau @URSBHQ @nssfug @pdpoUG #AML #CFT #Compliance #NPOGovernance #FinancialIntegrity #CivilSociety #Uganda #FIA #FATF #TLT

𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈 | #TheLeadersTalkAfrica Did you know #NPOs facing funding constraints can apply for temporary #PAYE deactivation? As organizations navigate shrinking funding challenges, meeting #PAYE obligations can become difficult. During #TheLeadersTalkAfrica, @URAuganda's @twahakayondo shared that NPOs may apply for temporary PAYE deactivation and reactivate once salary payments resume. A practical compliance solution for sustaining financial integrity in the NPO sector. @nssfug @URSBHQ @NGObureau #AML #CFT #Compliance #NPOGovernance #FinancialIntegrity #TaxCompliance #CivilSociety #Uganda #TLT
