The two legislations defined the term reporting person to include DNFBPs. Both the AMLA and AMLPOCA empowers the FIU and regulators of specific sectors/industry, to issue guidelines with respect to AML/CFT/CFT measures. This Guide is so issued for the guidance of persons and entities operating as DNFBPs in United Republic of Tanzania and Zanzibar. The definitions of the “reporting person” in the AMLA and AMLPOCA equally apply mutatis in this Guide.
