French Polynesia Tackles Anti-Money Laundering with Strengthened Regulations
Enhancing Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism in French Polynesia
In a bid to curb financial crimes, French Polynesia has been working tirelessly to establish robust anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations. The country’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Tracfin, has played a crucial role in this endeavor by enhancing its collaboration with key stakeholders and monitoring reporting activities.
A Stronger Approach to Anti-Money Laundering
To combat financial crimes effectively, French Polynesia has been implementing measures that ensure:
- Strong relationships: Entities operating in the country are encouraged to develop stronger relationships with their compliance departments.
- Effective monitoring: Reporting activity is closely monitored by Tracfin to identify and address any potential risks.
Building a Culture of Compliance
Entities operating in French Polynesia must implement a comprehensive compliance framework that encompasses all aspects of their operations. This framework serves as the bedrock of confidence between the financial market and its stakeholders, focusing on:
Key Aspects of Compliance
- Knowledge and adherence to regulations: Clear communication of regulatory requirements is essential for entities to comply with laws, regulations, and ethical principles.
- Awareness and training: Providing awareness and training to all stakeholders on how to avoid non-compliance risks and damage to their brand is crucial.
- Collaboration with international standards: Entities must collaborate with clients and partners who adhere to international AML and anti-terrorist financing norms and standards.
- Culture of compliance: Building a culture of compliance among personnel and ensuring they exercise a duty of vigilance is vital.
