Cash Transaction Report (CTR) – This report is a mandatory daily report submitted by Accountable Institutions or professions that receive cash as a form of transaction. The Anti- Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044) has empowered the Centre to set thresholds for various sectors and professions. For instance, a threshold of GH¢50,000.00 has been set for the banking and securities sectors. This means that any deposit or withdrawal amounting to GH¢50,000.00 or more is reported to the Centre and kept in the database for monitoring purposes.

Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) – This is a report filed by Accountable Institutions within twenty-four hours upon the grounds of suspicion of particular transaction. There is no threshold for reporting suspicious activity or transaction. For instance, a financial institution may observe a daily deposit of GH¢100.00 onto a customer’s account without any reasonable economic purpose and upon forming a suspicion, file a suspicious transaction report to the Centre.

Currency Declaration Report (CDR) – This report is a compilation of currencies declared at the various entry points in the country. These entry points include airports and land borders.

Electronic Currency Transaction Report (ECTR) – This report is filed by commercial banks only. All inward and outward transfers exceeding US$1000.00 are reported to the Centre for monitoring purposes.
