THE Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) this week called upon specified accountable institutions to urgently submit their 2026 risk and compliance return (RCR) as the first of two deadlines is rapidly approaching.
The FIC said in a statement that the submission rates since the 2026 RCR platform was launched at the beginning of May 2026 had been extremely low, with less than 12% of specified accountable institutions responding to a directive by the Centre to file their returns.
“Businesses and professions specified in Directive 11, as published on March 31, 2026, are mandated to submit their 2026 RCR questionnaires to the FIC electronically within set deadlines. The 2026 RCR submission period closes on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, and Friday, July 31, 2026, for the specified items in Schedule 1 of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (Fica).
“The June 30 submission deadline is imminent for trust and company service providers, casinos, credit providers (excluding banks, mutual banks and co-operative banks), and crypto asset service providers.
