Who We Are

The Association of Compliance Professionals of Guyana (ACPG) was officially established in January 2022 as a voluntary non-profit organization under the 1991 Companies Act, born from a critical need to fortify the nation's financial integrity. Founded by a dedicated coalition of senior compliance professionals from the Banking, Money Transfer, and other regulated sectors, the ACPG was established to create a unified voice for the industry. Recognizing the increasing complexity of global anti-money laundering (AML) standards and local regulatory requirements, these pioneers sought to build a professional body that would standardize practices and foster a culture of ethical compliance throughout Guyana.

Since its inception, the ACPG has evolved into a dynamic hub for professional development and strategic regulatory discourse. Our mandate extends far beyond simple representation; we actively bridge the gap between regulatory bodies and private sector practitioners to ensure seamless alignment with national frameworks. We provide an essential platform for networking, specialized training, and the review of draft legislation, empowering our members to be proactive leaders rather than reactive participants. By promoting open, constructive discussion on compliance challenges, we elevate the standard of practice across every sector we serve.

Today, the ACPG stands as the premier professional association for compliance practitioners in the region, serving a growing membership of professionals across diverse industries. As Guyana's economic landscape transforms, so too does our mission. We remain steadfast in our commitment to adapting to emerging compliance challenges, ensuring that every member is equipped with the knowledge, resources, and support necessary to uphold the highest standards of integrity. We are not just building a network; we are setting the benchmark for professional excellence in Guyana's financial ecosystem.
