Financial Institutions Play Crucial Role in Preventing Terrorism Financing in French Polynesia
===============
In an effort to combat money laundering, public-sector fraud, and terrorist financing, financial institutions in French Polynesia are taking proactive measures to strengthen their anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) frameworks.
The Financial Intelligence Unit: A Key Component of France’s AML/CFT System
The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), a key component of France’s AML/CFT system, has been working closely with its partners to develop stronger relationships and enhance reporting capabilities. In 2019, the FIU shared profiles with compliance departments of major financial stakeholders, enabling them to improve detection capabilities.
Establishing a Comprehensive Compliance Framework
In French Polynesia, entities are encouraged to establish a comprehensive compliance framework that encompasses all aspects of their operations, including customer interactions and regulatory relationships. This approach is essential for maintaining confidence between the financial market and its stakeholders, who expect institutions to adhere to laws, regulations, and ethical principles.
Key Components of Compliance
A clear understanding of relevant regulations and their implications
Regular training and awareness programs for all staff members Collaboration with clients and partners who adhere to international AML/CFT standards A culture of vigilance and a duty of care among personnel
