Coverage includes emerging money-laundering typologies, predicate crime trends, trade-based money laundering, virtual asset risks, cross-border financial crime, proliferation financing, beneficial ownership abuse, environmental crime, corruption, and terrorist financing trends. Reports include an executive summary, threat assessment, risk rating, regulatory expectations, and recommended controls.

PEP intelligence service

The CompliSey Seychelles PEP Register provides maintained intelligence on politically exposed persons, including domestic and foreign PEPs, international organisation PEPs, former PEPs, family members, and close associates—with appointment and removal history, risk classification, and source verification. Institutions receive updates, periodic intelligence reports, change notifications, search functionality, and historical tracking.
