Foreword
The core function of an FIU-Nepal is the serving as a national center for the receipt, analysis, and
dissemination of information regarding money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The
reports submitted to FIU-Nepal comprises of Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), Suspicious
Activity Report (SAR) and Threshold Transaction Report (TTR). In order to facilitate reporting
process FIU-Nepal has procured goAML software developed by United Nations Office on Drugs
and Crime (UNODC).

goAML Software has been upgraded to newer 5.2.0 version from previous 4.9.3.0 version. This
amended version has incorporated many new updates and is intended towards enabling the
Reporting Entities to generate and submit properly structured STRs, SARs and TTRs in goAML.
These guidelines are focused more towards clarifying the business logic and practical aspects of
structuring and reporting various types of transactions so that the Securities Companies can report
uniformly in goAML. In addition to this document, FIU-Nepal has issued ‘Web Reporting
Guidelines’ and ‘Standard XML Reporting Instructions and Specification’ as a guidance for XML
and web reporting at goAML.

These guidelines have included definitions and procedures regarding several regulatory reports
and transactions, indicators and attachments that must be submitted in such process. It also
illustrates the necessary information that Securities Companies need to provide in STR, SAR and
TTR, selection of 'From' and 'To' parties, selection of ‘Transaction Mode’ and ‘Funds Type’ for
different types of transaction and additional information that Securities Companies need to provide
for some cases. FAQs segment has also been included to address the most common queries from
the REs.

We may occasionally communicate information as and when required for addressing minor
changes if any and for facilitating the Securities Companies in course of reporting.

I would like to urge all Securities Companies to grasp maximum benefit of these guidelines.
Finally, I extend my sincere thanks to goAML team members Keshav Prasad Rimal, Kamal
Paudel, Ranjana Gotame, Bibesh Pokhrel and Deepak Parajuli who had done the tremendous and
valuable job for this version.

1. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background

1.1.1 The goAML Software System

FIU-Nepal has implemented goAML software


system developed by United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The goAML system
is the UNODC Software Products for Member States' response to money laundering and terrorist
financing, and is available to Financial Intelligence Units of Member States to support their work.
As of Jan-2024, more than 60 countries have already deployed goAML. In the first phase, it's fully
functional product version is being implemented in A, B & C class Banks and Financial
Institutions. Similarly, Insurance companies started reporting in goAML (Production
Environment) from April 2022 and Remittance Companies from May, 2022. Law enforcement
agencies (Nepal Police, DRI, DMLI, IRD, Customs and CIAA) are also integrated in goAML
system. Furthermore, regulators and supervisors are also integrated in goAML system to get
supervisory access to RE's reporting and integration status. DNFBPs are also being gradually
integrated to use goAML. Now all REs must register in goAML system (Production Environment)
for reporting through Web/XML format of goAML by replacing Paper/CD/Email based manual
reporting.

FIU-NEPAL
goAML helps online receipt of SARs, STRs and TTRs from the REs and analyze such reports in
an automated form. As per the experiences of other counterparts, goAML not only gears up the
capacity of FIU, particularly in its core function like receiving and analyzing information, but also
assists for qualitative analysis. It requires strengthening the technical and analytical skills of FIU
staffs.

The goAML solution is executed in three steps: Collection, Analysis (rule-based analysis, risk-
score and profiling) and Dissemination (escalate to law enforcement and seek feedback). It
provides a facility for the rapid exchange of information between the FIU-Nepal, financial
institutions law enforcement and judicial authorities, while ensuring confidentiality of the data
collected.

1.1.2 Inherent Risk and shortcomings in paper based/manual reporting procedure

a) Risk of leaking, manipulating or tipping off information while exchanging hard copy document
in various levels and by various personnel involved in the communication channel – sender,
dispatch personnel, carrier, primary receiver etc.
b) Risk of loss, damage or theft while handling the documents in physical form.
c) Procedure and channel for communicating AML/CFT information should be secured and
reliable as recommended by FATF. Since leaking, manipulating or tipping off information is
generally considered serious crimes as per AML/CFT regulations
d) Difficult to manage records and keep statistics of various types of reports received from REs
and domestic cooperation between FIU and LEAs leading to mismatch in statistical data.

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES

FIU-NEPAL
e) Time consuming and receipt/non-receipt of the correspondence needs to be confirmed via
phone call in many cases.

1.1.3 Advantages of using goAML

a) goAML uses secured electronic channel for communication and the information is transferred
in encrypted form so the chances of leaking and manipulating information is minimal.
b) goAML can be used both for receiving reports from REs and disseminating information to
LEAs while maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the information
c) The information can be directly sent and received by the end parties without the involvement
of third parties like messenger and carriers.
d) Communication through goAML is simple, easy and fast (similar to sending email/filling web
form)
e) No need to purchase or install new software at REs/LEAs end (software is already procured
and installed by FIU-Nepal) although REs may require middleware for generating XML
reports
f) REs/LEAs just require internet connectivity for reaching the goAML server/website
g) LEA can provide feedback on the disseminated information to FIU-Nepal along with Asset
Confiscation and detailed conviction information (including number of persons convicted)
h) International co-operation to be made in co-ordination of FIU e.g. EGMONT group, APG, etc.,
can be done efficiently
i) Statistics of various types of reports submitted by REs and dissemination, feedback, domestic
and international co-operation can be maintained and obtained easily.

1.1.4 Major challenges faced during implementation of goAML

The major challenges faced during the implementation of goAML are:

a) Customizing goAML to match the data fields and reporting requirement for different type of
REs
b) Lack of necessary data with the REs (lack of updated KYM related documents)
c) Lack of digitized data with the REs (documents stored as scanned copy)

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES


10
FIU-NEPAL
d) Lack of necessary data fields in enterprise application of REs as per data requirement in
goAML
e) Challenges in updating KYM related documents of clients and digitizing data
f) Challenges in developing middleware for generating XML files as per goAML schema
g) Challenges in mapping available data from enterprise application of REs to goAML XML file
format
h) Lack of comprehensive goAML related training to FIU staffs
i) Frequent issues faced in goAML system hardware and software due to power failure, physical
migration of hardware to various locations etc. causing unprecedented downtime of goAML
system

1.1.5 Methods of reporting in goAML system

Co-operatives Companies can submit reports in goAML system in the following ways:

A. Web Report
B. XML Report

A. Web Report: SAR/STR/TTR reports in goAML system can be submitted by typing manually
in web form. There are mandatory and non-mandatory fields in goAML. The mandatory fields
which are marked by asterisk sign (*) should be filled. The non-mandatory fields or optional fields
can be leave as blank. Certain fields which are not marked as mandatory in goAML can also be
provided as per operational guidelines issued by FIU-Nepal. While filling in the web form, there
are other different types of cascading web forms that should be saved one after another before
submitting. If there are errors in the form (shown with red color), that should be revisited and
corrected accordingly.

B. XML Report: An XML file is an extensible markup language file, and it is used to structure
data for storage and transport. In an XML file, there are both tags and text. The tags provide the
structure to the data. The text in the file that you wish to store is surrounded by these tags, which
adhere to specific syntax guidelines. At its core, an XML file is a standard text file that utilizes
customized tags, to describe the structure of the document and how it should be stored and
transported.

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES


11
FIU-NEPAL
An XML schema is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of
constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic
syntactical constraints imposed by XML itself.

The XML file suitable with goAML can be generated through middleware software. Middleware
software takes input as raw data from core system of REs, or similar software in Co-operatives,
securities and other) and generate XML file as output. It validates the XML file through goAML
XML validator. This option is also available in goAML website. All the validated XML files can
be zipped and upload in bulk through XML upload.

XML reporting is appropriate in case of large number of reports than web based reporting.
Individual transaction should type manually one by one and save to report threshold transaction in
web based reporting, which is quite time consuming process. Once the XML file is generated
which includes all the transactions of specific report and submitted in our system and it is easy
process.

There are two types of validation in goAML which are initial schema level validation and business
rule or logical validation. The initial schema level validation validates the report file based on
available XML schema in goAML system and business rule or logical validation validates report
based on available XML rejection rule in goAML system. After the pass of all business rules the
report status is processed and saved in goAML database system.

Figure 3: Report Structure in goAML

a. Report Type: The report types in goAML are Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), Suspicious
Transaction Report (STR) and Threshold Transaction Report (TTR).

b. Transaction: Threshold transaction of person or account or entity should be reported while


reporting TTR and suspicious transaction of specific party should be reported during STR
reporting. At least one of the suspicious transactions should be provided while reporting STR.

c. From Party: Multi party and Bi-Party transaction features of goAML software system enable
us to capture the information of party type. Bi-party means two party. Currently, both Bi-party and
Multi party transaction features are enabled in our system. REs should provide transaction
information accordingly while reporting. The two party type are 'from party' and 'to party'. 'from
party' is also called source party. The party type information depends upon the flow of currency.
For example, if a person deposits premium, the 'from party' is person and REs should provide the

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES


13
FIU-NEPAL
person information in 'from party' node. The different cases are explained in goAML operational
manual issued by FIU-Nepal.

d. Conductor: Conductor is always natural person. A person who carries transaction on behalf of
others or self. The Information regarding natural person should be provided while reporting and it
plays vital role while tracking the suspect person.

e. To party: Another party type is 'to party' and also called destination party. For example, if a
person deposits premium in his/her account then 'to party' is Account>My Client, so policy details
should be provided in 'Account' node. The different cases are explained in goAML operational
manual issued by FIU-Nepal.

f. My Client: From the point of view of REs, the party (Individual, entity) whose account
information presented in their institutions are categorized as 'my client'. REs should provide detail
information of my client inside 'my client' node.

g. Not My Client: If transaction was carried out by an individual person or account in Co-
operatives company or other REs and the information regarding such person or account or entity
is not available with them, they can categorize such information as not my client. The minimum
information of not my client should be provided under 'not my client' node.

h. Person: Depending upon the transaction scenario, if a person who involves in transaction or
whose account information is available with REs, they should provide detail information of person
while reporting in goAML software system. If the person is not my client, then minimum
information can be provided.

i. Account: Depending upon the transaction scenario, if the account information of natural person
or entity is available with REs, they should provide detail information of the account while
reporting in goAML. If account is not my client, then minimum information can be provided.

j. Entity: Depending upon the transaction scenario, if account information of the organization or
entity is available with REs, they should provide detail information of the account while reporting
in goAML software system. If account is not my client, the minimum information can be provided.

1.2 Introduction of goAML Operational Guidelines

These guidelines are issued for Co-operatives Companies as per power conferred under Section
7S. (3), 10 (1) (h) and 10A. (2) of ALPA, 2008. These guidelines help in reporting of STR, SAR
and TTR via goAML Software.

There are several reporting fields in goAML software such as Report Types and its sub-categories,
Transaction Mode, Indicators, Attachments, From Parties and To Parties, Funds type etc. These
guidelines will highlight the basic definition and its use in goAML. Several scenarios and cases
mentioned in these guidelines will help Co-operatives Companies in reporting.

This version of goAML Operational Guidelines includes SAR Reporting, STR and TTR,
Attachments required in STR/SAR etc. There is also format of Transaction Details in annexure
and it also contains several fields and process that is being introduced in goAML.

1.2.1 Report Types

1.2.1.1 Threshold Transaction Report (TTR)

TTR is a report that Co-operatives are required to submit to FIU-Nepal for transactions; if it
exceeds prescribed threshold limit. The TTR limit for various reporting entities is different as per
their nature and scope (See 'TTR Guidelines' issued by FIU-Nepal and 'AML/CFT Directive'
issued by Department of Co-operatives).

TTRs are very important to develop the data of customers'/clients' profile for future use in case
such transactions happen to be connected with money laundering and terrorist financing offences.
TTRs also help to form a link chart during the analysis of a STR and help the investigator/analyst
to find the criminal elements involved in the transactions and convert the financial information
into financial intelligence by adding value in it.

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES


15
FIU-NEPAL
1.2.1.2 Suspicious Transaction Report (STR)

As per Section 7(S)(1) of ALPA 2008, Reporting Entity shall make a suspicious transaction report
to the FIU within three days as far as possible if they find following circumstances in relation to
any customer, transaction or property.

a) If it suspects or has reasonable grounds to suspect that if the property is related to ML/TF or
other offence, or
b) If it suspects or has reasonable grounds to suspect that the property is related or linked to, or
is to be used for, terrorism, terrorist, terrorist acts or by terrorist organization or those who
finance terrorism.

STR include detailed information about transactions that are suspected violations of law or appear
to be suspicious/ doubtful or arouse suspicion. The goal of STR filing is to help FIU-Nepal to
identify individuals, groups and organizations involved in predicate offences declared in ALPA,
2008. In many instances, STRs have been instrumental in enabling law enforcement to initiate or
supplement major money laundering or terrorist financing investigations and other criminal cases.

1.2.1.3 Suspicious Activity Report (SAR)

As per Section 7(S)(2) of ALPA 2008, Reporting entity shall also submit the report of attempted
transactions or activity to FIU as mentioned under sub-section (1).
Suspicious Activity (SA) arises from suspicion relating to general behavior of the person in
question which creates the knowledge or belief that he or she may be involved in illegal activities
out of which proceeds might be generated. Any suspicious attempted transaction also falls in this
category. For example:
 A Co-operatives refuses to accept a transaction because the client refuses to provide
identification, source of fund, contact details etc. as requested.
 Activities related to Identity Theft.
 Information on fake document issued by any organization.
 Attempted Fraudulent activities
 Any other attempted transactions.

FIU-NEPAL
1.2.2 Guidelines for Reporting Transactions for STR, SAR and TTR

Transaction is the most important component of reporting in goAML since it includes all the
necessary details of cash flow and involved parties. The analysis of submitted reports is primarily
dependent upon the details provided within the Transaction node. The Co-operatives should
properly understand the business logic behind any transaction and provide all the necessary and
available information while reporting in goAML.
Since the details that need to be provided inside Transaction node are same for TTR and STR, so
this topic will provide guidance for providing information properly inside the Transaction node
for both report types. While TTRs are usually generated by system with existing data and bound
to mandatory fields, we expect some additional data and manual inputs by the Co-operatives
Companies in reporting STR and SAR such as Reason, Attachments, Indicators, Transaction
Comments and any other relevant information wherever possible.
1.2.3 Providing information in the Transaction node

the cases while may be different in some cases. Same information should be provided for both
Conductor and ‘From’ or ‘To’ party if they are identified to be the same.

If Conductor is identified as ‘My Client’ (Member of the Cooperative), then complete information
of the Conductor should be provided including Personal details, Address, ID and Contact details

The following tables illustrate various practical cases of transactions that commonly occur in Co-
operatives Sector that the Co-operatives have to report as TTRs and STRs/SARs. Majority of the
probable cases have been consolidated to clarify the business logics behind them and to specify
proper values from Lookup Tables. Still, there might be some cases left out that may have to be
reported as per existing regulations. In such situation, the Co-operatives need to make rational
decision based on similar cases and try to report transactions logically in proper format in goAML.

While submitting reports in XML format, Co-operatives need to generate valid XML files by
properly structuring and formatting the XML elements and tags in accordance with the latest
goAML XML Schema. Some elements in the XML schema have been adjusted according to
context and requirement. Fields corresponding to such XML elements can be seen translated in
the Web but not in the XML schema as per goAML architecture. While most of the XML elements
have their usual meaning as displayed in the Web, some appear slightly different or have been
modified as per our requirement. The list of such XML elements is mentioned as follows and
corresponding relevant information should be provided in such fields. The Mandatory or Non-

4. DESCRIPTION OF 'TRANSACTION MODE MASTER' AND 'FUNDS TYPE
MASTER'

4.1 Transaction Mode Master

The values that can be provided in Transaction Mode are bound to predefined list. While the
available options can be selected from drop down list in Web, such values should be provided as
corresponding code while submitting reports in XML format. If any code other than specified in
the Lookup table is provided, the XML file will not be validated and hence the lookup value should
be chosen and provided carefully for different type of transactions. The available values for
Lookup Table ‘Transaction Mode Master’ are listed below:

Code Value/Transaction Mode Description


A In-Branch If the transaction is carried out in the same branch
where the policy was issued.
C Different Branch If the transaction is carried out in branch other than
the branch where the policy was issued.
D Electronic Transfer Any other form of Electronic/Internet Transfer other
than ECC, IPS and RTGS
Z Others If Transaction Mode is any other than listed above

4.2 Funds Type Master

Similar to the Transaction Mode, the values that can be provided in Funds Type are bound to
predefined list. While the available options can be selected from drop down list in Web, such
values should be provided as corresponding code while submitting reports in XML format. If any
code other than specified in the Lookup table is provided, the XML file will not be validated and
hence the value should be chosen and provided carefully for different type of transactions.
Although the Funds Type Lookup Table is same for both from Party and To Party, but the values
that need to be selected are different for different type of transaction which has been illustrated in
table 2.2. The available values for Lookup Table ‘Funds Type Master’ are listed below:

Code Value Description

companies, Securities companies, Cooperatives, Remittance companies etc.) is free of cost.

2) How should TTR be reported?


TTR can be reported either in XML format or manually through Web. XML files can be
uploaded individually or as a zip file comprising of multiple TTRs. Zip upload is recommended

submitted for different TTRs.

4) How should TTR be reported when members do transactions through different payment
modes like Cheque, Cash, IPS?

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES

Abbreviations/short forms should be avoided as far as possible while providing information
like Person Name, Entity Name, address, occupation, business etc. but if abbreviations/short

24) How long will be Processed/Failed Validation reports be available for preview on the
Web?
Currently, FIU-Nepal has set it as '15 days' which can be changed as per requirement.

25) What does the different status of submitted report mean and do we need to take any
action?
 In General, status is Transferred from Web, Processed, Rejected and Failed Validation.
 If there are some errors in the structure of XML file, then the status for such file can be
seen as Failed Validation and Co-operatives Companies can click on Failed Validation
link to know more about the validation errors.
 If the XML file is validated the status changes to Transferred from Web and further upon
approval from the screening officer of FIU or based on XML validation and rejection rules,
the status will be change to Processed. The Co-operatives Companies do not need to take
any actions if the status is Processed.
 In case if ‘Transferred from Web’ status is seen for longer period of time (>1 day), the Co-
operatives Companies should check their message board or email for any notification or
rejection message regarding the report.

goAML OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR CO-OPERATIVES


52
FIU-NEPAL
 If there are some logical mistakes or missing information in validated XML files, then the
screening officer (manually) or goAML rejection rules (automatically) may reject the
report with proper reason which appears as Rejected.
 REs should correct the mistakes in reports with Failed Validation, Rejected and
Transferred from Web status and resubmit those files.

26) How to validate bulk of XML files?


The ‘XML Report Validator’ in the Web Interface and an offline XML Validator Tool can be
used to validate one XML file at a time. It is not necessary to validate every XML file prior to
submission if the Co-operatives Companies have solved the common validation issues and
they are assured that no such validation errors exist in the reports. As the reports being
submitted by Co-operatives Companiess get error free with time, it is advised that the Co-
operatives Companies validate the samples from the bulk uploads. Nevertheless, there might
be some third party tools that may be available for validating bulk of XML files against the
provided XML Schema.

27) What will happen when STR/SAR/TTR is not reported?


As per ALPA, 2008, STR/SAR must be submitted as soon as possible, not exceeding three
days and TTR must be submitted within 15 days of date of transaction. Non-submission of
STR/SAR/TTR or failure to submit within prescribed time/format are subject to fine and
penalties as per ALPA, 2008 and Directives issued by Department of Co-operatives. FIU-
Nepal can impose fine up to NPR. 10 lakhs.
