Compliance with International Financial Standards in French Polynesia

In an effort to combat money laundering, public-sector fraud, and terrorist financing, French Polynesia has strengthened its financial regulations. The country’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) plays a crucial role in this fight, working closely with financial stakeholders and regulators to detect suspicious transactions.

The FIU’s Enhanced Capabilities

The FIU was restructured in 2019 to improve its monitoring capabilities and share information with compliance departments of key financial institutions. This enhanced cooperation has helped to strengthen the detection of potential money laundering activities.

The Compliance Code

In French Polynesia, entities are encouraged to develop a comprehensive compliance framework that covers all aspects of their operations. The code emphasizes the importance of knowing and following regulations, as well as creating awareness among stakeholders about the risks of non-compliance.

  • Entities are expected to collaborate with clients who adhere to international anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing norms and standards.
  • They must build a culture of compliance among their personnel and exercise a duty of vigilance.
