We present preliminary measurements of the radio-FIR correlation for local extragalactic objects found in the newest release of the AKARI Far-Infrared All Sky Survey, cross-correlated with the NVSS and SDSS surveys. We found a tight correlation between radio and far-infrared emission for all the selected sample of local extragalactic objects, both star forming galaxies and galaxies containing an AGN. Among objects deviating from this trend, a larger number have an upscatter in radio than in the infrared, and a percentage of AGNs among radio-upscattered sources is higher than both in the infrared-upscattered population and in the population following the main correlation trend.
