As an administrative FIU, the Unit performs three traditional core functions and these are: monitoring and analysis; compliance and prevention; and informational cooperation and data exchange
Like all other administrative model FIUs, the Sierra Leone FIU performs three central functions:
Receipt, request or extraction of financial information/disclosure from reporting entities or open source on transactions or reports relevant to suspected money laundering and terrorism financing
Analysis of information to substantiate possible links to money laundering or terrorism financing
Dissemination of the resultant financial intelligence to law enforcement agencies and competent authorities to facilitate prosecutions for money laundering or terrorism financing.
In pursuit of these objectives the FIU collects a variety of reports prepared and submitted by reporting entities in compliance with local law and recognized international best practices.
