PAPUA NEW GUINEA · AML/CTF · KYC · KYB · SCREENING
Compliance that moves PNG forward.
Meaningful, effective compliance should protect the integrity of Papua New Guinea and help its enterprises move faster.
True Comply brings identity, company verification, screening, risk decisions and evidence into one connected workflow—reducing manual effort and returning time to leaders and employees.
WHAT TRUE COMPLY DELIVERS
Onboard in minutes. Prove every decision.
True Comply can be configured around the way your organisation identifies and approves customers, companies, suppliers, employees and other counterparties.
Digital onboarding
Capture customer, supplier or counterparty information once through a guided, mobile-ready journey.
KYC and KYB
Verify people, companies, ownership and authority using permitted data sources and documented controls.
Screening and monitoring
Bring PEP, sanctions, adverse-media and ongoing monitoring into the same case record.
Governance and evidence
Route exceptions, preserve decisions and give leaders a clear, defensible view of compliance performance.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Manual compliance slows business and concentrates risk.
When onboarding depends on forms, copied documents and human judgement, employees become the control and a potential single point of failure. This increases fraud and AML/CTF exposure while legitimate customers, suppliers and counterparties wait.
Identity accepted, not validated
Documents may be sighted and copied without a direct check against an authoritative source.
People become the control
Manual judgement concentrates risk in individual employees and creates inconsistent outcomes.
Onboarding takes weeks
Forms, emails and follow-ups slow customers, suppliers and staff—or KYC and KYB may not happen consistently.
Evidence is difficult to prove
Screening, approvals and exceptions sit apart, leaving leaders without one defensible record.
A priority enterprise use case
For both financial and non-financial businesses, the first step is to validate the current onboarding journey: where identity is checked, where manual hand-offs occur, how exceptions are decided and what evidence reaches management.
Not sure where the gaps are?
We can develop a compliance gap analysis or Business Requirements Document before a technology decision is made.
THE NATIONAL CONTEXT
The challenge is effectiveness—not simply policy.
Papua New Guinea’s 2024 mutual evaluation identified uneven implementation across financial and non-financial sectors. In February 2026, PNG committed to work with FATF and APG on an action plan to strengthen the effectiveness of its AML/CTF regime.
“Screening practices vary widely across FIs and DNFBPs.”
True Comply response
Consistent PEP, sanctions and adverse-media screening routed through one governed workflow.
“The level of application for CDD and record keeping varies significantly for NBFIs and DNFBPs.”
True Comply response
Configurable due diligence, mandatory evidence and a complete record for each decision.
“BO information is unlikely to be adequate, accurate and available in a timely manner.”
True Comply response
KYB and ownership workflows designed to collect, verify and escalate beneficial-ownership information.
“Supervision of non-commercial bank FIs and DNFBPs is more limited and is not fully risk based.”
True Comply response
Risk rules, dashboards and reporting that help organisations and agencies focus resources where exposure is highest.
True Comply can support organisations and agencies to implement stronger controls and evidence. It does not guarantee regulatory compliance or Papua New Guinea’s removal from increased monitoring.
OUR COMMITMENT
Beyond getting off the grey list.
True Comply is committed to supporting Papua New Guinea’s work to strengthen AML/CTF effectiveness—but the ambition should extend beyond satisfying an external assessment.
We want to help build compliance capability that is useful every day: reducing fraud exposure, strengthening trust, accelerating legitimate business and giving decision-makers evidence they can rely on.
THE TRUE COMPLY MODEL
Fast where it can be. Human where it matters.
Automation should remove repetitive handling without replacing accountable judgement. Straightforward cases can move quickly, while mismatches and higher-risk relationships reach the right person with the evidence already assembled.
