Compliance obligations in Monaco are governed by a strict and constantly evolving regulatory framework, supervised by the AMSF.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML): regulated entities must implement enhanced due diligence measures to detect and prevent money laundering. This includes customer identification, transaction monitoring, and reporting of suspicious activity.
Terrorist Financing (TF): the fight against terrorist financing imposes specific obligations to detect and freeze assets, as well as to comply with international sanctions lists.
Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (P): measures against proliferation require particular vigilance with regard to operations and customers presenting risks in this area.
Corruption (C): the fight against corruption requires measures to prevent and detect corrupt practices, particularly for politically exposed persons.
Supervision of the AMSF: The Monegasque Financial Security Authority actively supervises regulated entities and may impose sanctions in the event of non-compliance.

AML/CFT-PC obligations currently apply to many sectors: financial services, real estate, yachting, fine jewelry, sports agents, legal professions, etc. To determine whether or not you are subject to these obligations, take ourour AML quiz
The formalities depend on your sector and your exposure to risk. For example, you need to put in place: customer due diligence procedures, a system for detecting suspicious transactions, staff training, comprehensive risk mapping at the level of your entity, and an internal control system. We can help you define and implement these measures.
Procedures must be reviewed regularly, at a minimum, and whenever there is a significant regulatory change or organizational change. Our support includes this monitoring and periodic updates.
Risk mapping analyzes your business's vulnerabilities to money laundering, terrorist financing, and corruption risks. We conduct sector analysis and evaluate customers, products/services, and geographic areas. This mapping then guides the definition of your due diligence measures.
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing system to identify any discrepancies with regulatory requirements. This audit enables us to offer you a tailored, priority compliance plan.
The AMSF (Monegasque Financial Security Authority) carries out regular document and on-site checks. Penalties may be administrative (warnings, reprimands, fines) or criminal, depending on the severity of the breaches. We prepare you for these checks and secure your system to avoid any risk of penalties.
