巴哈馬政府發布了最新的國家反洗錢(AML)風險評估和2025-2028年新的國家反洗錢策略。報告指出,信託和企業服務提供者(TCSP)在所有央行監管的行業中脆弱性評分最高。這是由於受益所有人的風險狀況、使用法人實體和安排、非面對面的關係、使用TCSP在可能掩蓋所有權的公司結構內提供董事和股東活動、使用專業中介機構,以及所涉及的一些結構的複雜性等所導致。
BAHAMAS: TCSPs identified as highest AML risk
The Bahamian government has published its latest national anti-money laundering (AML) risk assessment and a new national AML strategy for 2025-2028. It identifies trust and corporate service providers (TCSPs) as having the highest vulnerability score across all the Central Bank's supervised sectors. This is due to the risk profile of beneficial owners; the use of legal entities and arrangements; the non-face-to-face relationships; the use of TCSPs to provide director and shareholder activities within corporate structures that may obscure ownership; the use of professional intermediaries; and the complex nature of some of the structures involved.
