Descripción General

Navigating Mauritius's Regulatory Framework

Las entidades con licencia en Mauricio operan bajo un marco regulatorio integral aplicado por tres autoridades principales: la Comisión de Servicios Financieros (FSC), la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (FIU), and the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA). Meeting these obligations requires specialist expertise in AML/CFT, FATCA/CRS, FSC licensing conditions, and evolving international standards.

El equipo de cumplimiento de Aurevya proporciona gestión de cumplimiento continua, realizando revisiones anuales de cumplimiento, implementando y manteniendo programas AML/CFT, gestionando los registros y presentaciones FATCA/CRSnd providing proactive guidance on regulatory developments that may impact your structures. We approach compliance not as a box-ticking exercise but as a genuine risk management discipline, one that protects the integrity of the entity's licence, its banking relationships, and its commercial standing.

En un entorno regulatorio que cambia con creciente frecuencia y consecuencia, tener un equipo de cumplimiento especialista integrado en su función administrativa no es un lujo; es un requisito previoor operating a sustainable international structure from Mauritius.

Preguntas Frecuentes

A GBC holding a Global Business Licence from the FSC is classified as a "reporting entity" under the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2002 (FIAMLA) and is required to implement a comprehensive AML/CFT programme. This programme must include: a risk-based customer due diligence framework; transaction monitoring procedures; suspicious activity identification and reporting protocols; record-keeping systems; and staff training. The entity must appoint a qualified Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and conduct periodic reviews of the programme's effectiveness. Aurevya manages all of these obligations as part of its compliance service.
FATCA (the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) requires Mauritius financial institutions to identify and report on accounts held by US persons to the Mauritius Revenue Authority, which shares the information with the US IRS. CRS (the OECD Common Reporting Standard) is the multilateral equivalent, requiring financial institutions to identify and report accounts held by tax residents of participating jurisdictions to their domestic tax authorities for onward exchange. Whether and how these regimes apply to a specific Mauritius entity depends on whether it is classified as a "Financial Institution" under the applicable rules, a determination that Aurevya's compliance team makes as part of the initial compliance setup process.
FSC guidance and best practice require that a formal compliance review be conducted at least annually for each licensed entity. The review should assess the effectiveness of the AML/CFT programme, the completeness and currency of KYC files, adherence to FSC licence conditions, and the entity's overall compliance posture. The review must be documented and presented to the board, and the resulting report must be retained for potential FSC inspection. Aurevya schedules and conducts annual compliance reviews for all entities under its administration as a standard component of its ongoing compliance service.
The consequences of regulatory non-compliance in Mauritius can be severe, ranging from formal FSC warnings and financial penalties to suspension or revocation of the entity's licence. In serious cases, the FSC may refer matters to the FIU or the Director of Public Prosecutions. Beyond regulatory sanctions, non-compliance can trigger banking relationship termination, reputational damage, and challenges in accessing international markets. Aurevya's proactive compliance model is specifically designed to prevent non-compliance, but where a breach is identified, our team provides immediate remediation support and manages the regulatory engagement process on the client's behalf.
The FSC requires each licensed entity to designate a Compliance Officer, an individual responsible for overseeing the entity's compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and FSC conditions. The Compliance Officer monitors regulatory developments, implements compliance programmes, manages the KYC and AML/CFT framework, and serves as the primary point of contact for the FSC on compliance matters. Aurevya provides experienced Compliance Officers for client entities, individuals with deep knowledge of the Mauritius regulatory framework who fulfill this role as part of the ongoing compliance management service.
