Compliance Alert: Mauritius has assessed its proliferation financing risk. Has your organisation assessed its own? For years, AML training has traditionally revolved around money laundering, terrorist financing, kyc, cdd, sanctions screening and suspicious transactions. CPF can no longer sit at the end of the curriculum, or just a superfluous addition. Act No. 3 of 2026 brought proliferation-financing risk explicitly deeper into Mauritius' framework. Reporting persons must now identify, assess, monitor, manage and mitigate pf risks. Their policies, controls and procedures must address pf risks identified through their own risk assessments or through the national risk assessment. And on 30 September 2026, Mauritius completed its first Proliferation Financing national risk assessment. The overall national pf risk has been assessed as Medium. Medium is the national assessment. It is not your institution's risk rating. If you administer structures, you may never see the vessel physically. But the ownership, control, financing or administration of the company behind it may sit somewhere inside a structure you manage. If you manage or administer funds, apparently ordinary exposures to engineering, electronics, specialist chemicals or industrial technology are not automatically risks. But dual-use exposure introduces another question: where does the product ultimately go … and who ultimately benefits? That is precisely what makes the intelligence problem difficult. No single party necessarily sees the whole picture. What happens when the: customer + ubo + counterparty + goods + jurisdiction + vessel + payment route + end-user begin telling a different story? An ordinary str must be filed as soon as possible and no later than five working days after the suspicion arises. A match involving a designated or listed party moves differently: targeted-financial-sanctions obligations apply immediately, and the related str must be filed within 24 hours. This will form part of our 28 October 2026 AI-Enabled AML/CFT/CPF Masterclass at Le Jadis (Rs.25,000 per delegate, MQA-Approved, HRDC Refund up to 90%) We will examine how it can be operationalised, investigated and AI-enabled … without allowing AI to inherit the judgement and accountability that belong to the Compliance professional. Mauritius has now assessed the country's proliferation-financing risk. Could your board explain where yours sits tomorrow?

Data Protection: Are you ready for 1 January 2027? Register as a controller. Register again as a processor. Designate an officer from your own staff. Notify the Office within fourteen days and publish the contact details. Now, two issues that we are solving. Regulation 3(1) says it must be one of your own staff. Regulation 6 says you must first remove any conflict of interest in that person’s other duties ... and in most firms here, the obvious candidate is the compliance officer or the MLRO. One of those roles is required by the anti-money-laundering framework to retain. The other is required by this Act to minimise. Same person. Opposite instructions. Conflicts? On the assumption most firms are quietly relying upon, the Data Protection Office has been explicit: until a determination is made, no general exemption should be presumed. AI-Enabled Data Protection is a one-day masterclass for the people who will hold those positions and answer for them. The morning settles the law, provision by provision, enhanced by AI. The afternoon is two live AI laboratories: participants classify processing activities, resolve contested controller and processor positions, triage an administered portfolio against the twelve criteria and draft a submission. Nobody leaves with notes. Everyone leaves with four working instruments built against their own structure. The AI is not decoration. No team reads several hundred agreements and mandates by hand inside the time remaining. What it will not do is make the determination — that stays with the officer, and the day is spent learning exactly where that line falls and how to evidence it. Participants work on their own systems throughout. Bring your laptop, fully charged, and install Claude AI Pro. **AI-Enabled Data Protection — Capacity, Registration and Officer Readiness **Wednesday 25 November 2026 · 08:15–16:35 · Holiday Inn, Plaine Magnien **7 CPD Hours · MQA Approved · **AI Coach: Irshad JACKARIA, CFA **Rs 25,000 per delegate · HRDC refundable up to 90% · net Rs 2,500 Registration link in the comments #DataProtection #Mauritius #ManagementCompanies #Compliance #AI #Knowledgeoftheart #IrshadJackaria
