Compliance and Governance Law

This domain of the PCCGL exam tests your knowledge of the Gibraltar statutory and regulatory framework for compliance and corporate governance in regulated firms. You must know the roles of the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and the Gibraltar Financial Intelligence Unit (GFIU), and the key obligations under the Financial Services Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2015, and the Data Protection Act 2018. The GFSC is the single regulator for financial services in Gibraltar, with statutory objectives including market confidence, consumer protection, and financial crime prevention. Regulated firms must maintain robust governance: an adequate board with independent non-executive directors, clear allocation of responsibilities, a compliance function with direct access to the board, and approved persons in controlled functions.
