The Anguilla Financial Services Commission has opened a consultation on the draft Registrar of Companies (Compliance Measures) Bill, a standalone proposal that would expand the Registrar of Companies’ supervisory and enforcement powers over registered entities. The bill would enable site visits and inspections, require the production of documents and records, issue notices to comply with statutory obligations, and impose civil penalties for non-compliance. The Commission links the measures to deficiencies identified in Anguilla’s legal framework in the 2023 Supplementary Review on Exchange of Information on Request, which contributed to a “partially compliant” rating and highlighted the need to strengthen the Registrar’s powers to supervise, monitor, and enforce compliance obligations. Written comments on the draft bill are requested by 16 February 2026.
