About AFCP

A specialist African platform for financial-integrity capability.

Research, professional development and technical services designed for the realities of African institutions, markets and financial-crime risks.

Our story and purpose

Why AFCP exists.

Africa Centre for Financial Crime Research and Compliance Limited is a Kenya-based professional-services company using the short public-facing brand AFCP.

AFCP is being developed to address a persistent gap between high-level standards and the day-to-day decisions made by reporting institutions, supervisors, investigators, analysts, prosecutors and policymakers. Its model brings together practitioner-led learning, applied African research and implementation advisory support.

The initial geographic focus is Kenya, Uganda and the wider East African Community, with measured expansion to Rwanda and Ghana subject to demand, governance readiness and country-specific legal review.

Corporate purpose

To convert evidence, standards and practitioner experience into stronger decisions, systems and professional practice.

Core values

Practical application
