Experience

One of Latin America’s largest retailer/wholesaler engaged Guidepost Solutions to develop and implement an anti-money laundering program for its credit servicing business. During the engagement, the Government of Panama mandated all businesses operating in the free trade zone to comply with Panama’s new AML law.

The engagement required coordination with Panama’s Financial Analyst Unit (created to oversee the implementation and enforcement of the new AML law), other Panamanian agencies, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to ensure the Company complies with Panamanian laws and U.S. standards. Upon completion, the Company became the first Panamanian-based business, operating in the free trade zone, to comply with Panama’s new AML mandate and serves as a model for all Panamanian businesses required to comply with the new law.
