Compliance Audits for Financial Institutions in French Polynesia: A Must for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Efforts
===========================================================
The fight against money laundering, public sector fraud, and terrorist financing is a top priority in France, and financial institutions in French Polynesia play a crucial role in this effort. To ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations, these institutions must undergo regular compliance audits.
The Role of Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)
The FIU has been instrumental in sharing profiles with key financial stakeholders, enhancing their detection capabilities. In 2019, the FIU worked on profiles to share with compliance departments of France’s key financial stakeholders.
Encouraging Compliance Framework
In French Polynesia, entities are encouraged to create and implement a comprehensive compliance framework that encompasses all parts of their operations with customers and regulators. This framework should focus on:
- Knowing and following regulations
- Compliance with laws and ethical principles
- Creating awareness and providing training
- Collaborating with international standards
- Building a culture of compliance among personnel
- Exercising vigilance
