ISJ and Capital Markets Commission join forces to enhance compliance, governance and oversight across Angola\u2019s gambling and financial sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Angola.- Angola\u2019s Gaming Supervision Institute<\/strong> (ISJ) and the Capital Markets Commission <\/strong>(CMC) signed an Institutional Cooperation Protocol, aimed at strengthening oversight<\/strong> and risk prevention in the country\u2019s gambling and capital markets sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protocol, signed by Dr. Nerethz Tati, Director General of ISJ, and Dr. Elmer Serr\u00e3o, Chairman of CMC on October 28, focuses on the prevention and combating of money laundering<\/strong>, terrorist financing and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (PC\/BC\/FT\/PADM). It also establishes mechanisms for technical cooperation, information sharing and joint training programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ISJ said: \u201cThe signing of this protocol represents another firm and decisive step in consolidating a more transparent and controlled national financial system<\/strong>, aligned with international standards of integrity and risk prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boosting compliance in gaming and finance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The protocol also emphasises governance, compliance and risk management systems across regulated sectors<\/strong>. While the agreement primarily concerns regulators, the ISJ notes that operators in the gaming and capital markets sectors are expected to align their internal processes<\/strong> with the strengthened supervisory framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ISJ added: \u201cThe protocol aims to strengthen the convergence of responsibilities <\/strong>among operators in the gaming and capital markets sectors through technical cooperation, information sharing and the exchange<\/strong> of experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement responds to recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force<\/strong> (FATF), following Angola\u2019s inclusion on the \u201cGrey List\u201d, reflecting a national effort to align the financial and gaming sectors with international standards of transparency and integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n
