Cayman Islands Institute of Professional Accountants (CIIPA) Chief Executive Officer Sheree Ebanks delivered a presentation on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) developments during the 42nd Caribbean Conference of Accountants, hosted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of the Caribbean (ICAC).
Ebanks’ presentation, “AML Update and Trends,” highlighted the Cayman Islands’ regulatory advancements and CIIPA’s role as the jurisdiction’s AML supervisor for accounting firms. Her remarks noted CIIPA’s ongoing efforts to uphold international standards through effective oversight, outreach and policy development.
“As Cayman’s AML supervisor for the accounting profession, CIIPA remains committed to promoting high standards of compliance and integrity,” said Ebanks. She was part of a Cayman Islands delegation attending the conference, which convened accounting professionals and regulators from across the region for dialogue on emerging issues and regulatory updates. There were a number of public sector representatives from Cayman also in attendance.
The delegation participated in the ICAC Presidents’ Gala, celebrating the Caribbean’s shared progress and partnerships in the accountancy field. CIIPA currently supervises nearly 140 accounting firms and service providers in the Cayman Islands, providing off-site monitoring, guidance, consultation and educational initiatives to strengthen the jurisdiction’s AML framework.
