Appeal Board

Appeals

The Financial Intelligence Act (FIA) in terms of section 58, allows any institution or person to appeal a decision of the Centre or a supervisory body to the Appeal Board within 30 days of receiving the decision, in accordance with prescribed procedures and fees. This provides a clear and structured avenue for reviewing decisions under the Act.

Appeal Board

LPE supports the Appeal Board by providing company secretarial and administrative services through the Appeal Board Secretary. To ensure transparency and procedural fairness, the Appeal Board operates independently of the FIC, with the Secretary providing independent administrative support.

The Appeal Board Secretary plays a key role by coordinating appeal hearings, managing correspondence and submissions, and maintaining complete and accurate appeal records, thereby supporting efficient, fair, and well‑governed appeal processes.
