FIU director-general Oliver Chiperesa\u2019s correspondence to banks dated 11 May 2022, reads:<\/p>\n

1. The Financial Intelligence Unit has noted that some banks may be using suspense and other internal accounts under various descriptions for purpose of purchasing foreign currency on the parallel market. In the result, we intend to carry out an audit of such accounts<\/p>\n

2. To facilitate the planning of the audit, every bank is required to furnish to the Financial Intelligence Unit, a list of all the bank\u2019s suspense accounts and other internal accounts used by the bank for its own transactions. The information should be provided to the FIU by no later than Friday 13th of May 2022<\/p>\n

3. Subsequent to receiving this information, the FIU may request detailed bank statements for all or some of the accounts. The FIU will take a serious view of a failure to disclose any particular account as requested therein.<\/p>\n

May you be guided accordingly.<\/p>\n
