Compliance & Forensic Caribbean

What Compliance & Forensic Caribbean does

Compliance & Forensic Caribbean is a privately held compliance and forensic services firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Willemstad, Curaçao, with additional offices in Aruba, St. Maarten, Suriname, and Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The firm serves regulated organizations in the Dutch Caribbean and Surinam — primarily financial institutions, online gaming and gambling operators, and trust & corporate services providers — delivering AML/CFT compliance advisory, outsourced compliance officer services, training, and forensic investigations.

The company's core product offering is the Integrity Suite, an umbrella grouping of five digital modules: Academy (classroom, in-company, and eLearning compliance training), CDD (customer due diligence and outsourced compliance solutions), iReport (external whistleblowing hotline), PEP Caribbean (a proprietary database of more than 5,000 Politically Exposed Persons across Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten, Saba, and St. Eustatius), and Screen-IT (tiered pre-employment and integrity screening). On the forensic side, the firm conducts fraud investigations, forensic ICT using the internationally approved Forensic Tool Kit (FTK), and security risk management. Managing Directors hold CFE and CAMS certifications, and the firm maintains specialized subsidiaries including Gaming Compliance Caribbean (Compliance Gaming Solutions B.V.) for iGaming operators.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining managed/professional services (outsourced compliance officer, forensic investigations, training) with subscription and transactional recurring revenue (iReport annual subscriptions, PEP Caribbean database access, per-screening Screen-IT fees, and per-seat eLearning priced at USD 119). GTM is primarily sales-led and consultative across regulated industries, supplemented by event-driven training programs and self-serve digital platforms that enable product-led adoption for smaller clients.
