Business Integrity & AML Compliance

Integrity is an important part of responsible and sustainable business. Fraud, corruption, conflicts of interest, employee misconduct, and unreliable business relationships can create legal, financial, and reputational risks for any organization.

Businesses should therefore consider measures appropriate to their size and activities, such as an integrity policy or code of conduct, proportionate screening of employees and business relationships, employee awareness, and a confidential speak-up channel for reporting concerns.

Certain sectors are also subject to specific anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements. These include regulated financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professionals, such as certain legal, notarial, accounting and tax service providers, real estate businesses, dealers in high-value goods, and gaming providers.

The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) supervises regulated financial service providers. FIU Sint Maarten receives and analyzes reports of unusual transactions and supervises compliance by designated non-financial service providers. Section Casino Control supervises gambling establishments under gaming legislation and applicable licence conditions.

The precise integrity, licensing, AML, screening, and reporting requirements depend on the activities and risk profile of each business. Entrepreneurs should determine which requirements apply at an early stage.
