Q & A
Replacement of current paper
based submission form
Physical paper based STR forms have been used over the years at the FIU.
Supported only physical or emailed based STRs
Disadvantages of this were:
Lacked digital online entry form
No fast way of sending feedback to subject persons
Non-sustainable method of reporting
Increase in carbon footprint
No searchable database using paper based PDF forms
No way of integrating validation rules
STR quality poor
About goAML
goAML is built by the UNODC purposely for the FIU to use
Online reporting methods
Can upload reports in bulk from the ‘XML upload’ feature
Integrated ‘message board’ feature that acts like an email client to send messages and notifications
to reporting entities about report status and feedbacks.
Able to submit bank account history through XML upload
reporting entity user management (Access level controls) on their accounts
Report Validations. FIU sets business rules and rejection rules to enforce quality STRs
Statistical Information including number of reports accepted / rejected as per reporting entity
Registration platforms
1.
Reporting entities need to be registered with the FIU.
2.
The FIU has 2 environments for goAML and are encouraged to register on both
TEST Environment (TST)
LIVE Environment (LIVE)

https://goaml.fiu.sc/goAML_Test/Home
Login: Unique to system
URL:
https://goaml.fiu.sc/goAML_Live/Home
Login: Unique to system
1. TEST Environment (TST)
https://goaml.fiu.sc/goAML_Test/Home
If it is the first time you are registering with the FIU, then registration will be unique to this
environment. However, if you have already registered with the FIU as of 31
st
of May, 2023 Then
you can use both logins for the LIVE and TEST platform
This platform is for anyone who wants to test and train staff on how to submit STR reports
Reporting entities can use this platform to test XML upload feature
All data is disregarded on this system
Do not submit live data but instead realistic scenarios that can occur in your business.
2. LIVE Environment (LIVE)
https://goaml.fiu.sc/goAML_Live/Home
If it is the first time you are registering with the FIU, then registration will be unique to this
environment. However, if you have already registered with the FIU as of 31
st
of May, 2023 Then
you can use both logins for the LIVE and TEST platform
This platform is for LIVE submissions on STR & SAR
No testing on this system
This system is mandatory for reporting entities to use to submit STR / SAR
Types of Submissions
1.
Manual Web Report Submissions
1.
Reporting entities who wish to submit STR / SAR manually can use web report submissions
2.
XML upload submissions
1.
Reporting entities that have many reports to submit can use XML upload feature. Although this
feature requires technical development it may take some time for reporting entities to get their
hands on XML conversion tools. Most will depend on outsourced developments.
Future Additions to goAML
goAML will initially be launched for STR & SAR reporting
Threshold reporting (CTTR/WTTR) will be launched on notice
VASP reporting (crypto and virtual assets) will be launched on notice
XML upload feature will be launched on notice
Q & A
Q: We do not submit many STRs per month. What should we do ?
A: If you don’t submit many STRs, you can use manual web forms to submit STRs. You do not
require XML upload. Having said so, it is important that you specify ALL transactions in the
webform that links to the STR. You also need to attach the account statement in the
attachments and make sure that the attachment is character readable, meaning the FIU can
copy paste text from it and also we can use OCR technology on the document.
Q & A
Q: We submit quite a number of STRs and we do not want to integrate with the FIU XSD
schema?
A: That’s alright, XML upload requires technical experience of an IT person to understand the
XSD schema and build reports based on that XSD schema. You can still proceed to manually
submit STRs. It is important that ALL transactions are recorded in the web form and attachments
of bank statements provided in character readable format.
Q & A
Q: I am a compliance officer on behalf on more than one entity. Do I need to register them
twice?
A: Yes, You need to register both entities separately with their unique emails. Then you need to
register yourself as an ‘organization’ and remember your organization ID. Then login on each
entity and delegate control to your original organization ID. When you log in on your compliance
officer account, you will have a dropdown to choose which entity you want to control.
Q:I have registered but cannot login.
A: Please check the URL of the platform. If you registered on the TEST platform after MAY, then
you cannot use the same details to login to the LIVE platform. Likewise, if you are trying to login
on the LIVE platform you might be on the TEST platform so make sure you check which platform
you are on.
