Key Regulatory Frameworks in Kenya

Kenya's regulatory environment is dynamic, encompassing various sectors and mandating adherence to specific laws and guidelines. For businesses operating within financial services, understanding the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) directives, the Banking Act, and regulations governing Credit Reference Bureaus (CRBs) like TransUnion and Metropol is paramount. Similarly, companies involved in data handling must comply with the Data Protection Act, 2019, a critical piece of legislation safeguarding personal information. Other significant acts include the Companies Act, 2015, which governs corporate governance, and sector-specific legislation such as the Insurance Act or the Capital Markets Act. Our compliance consulting services encompass a thorough review of your business activities against these statutory requirements, ensuring you are fully aware of your obligations under frameworks like the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing) Act.
