Cambodia Trust Regulator Holds Workshop on Disciplinary Sanctions in Anti-Money Laundering Drive

PHNOM PENH, Mar. 5, 2026 (KPT) – Cambodia’s Trust Regulator (TR) convened a workshop Thursday to raise awareness among trustee companies and operators about new disciplinary measures for non‑compliance with anti‑money laundering and counter‑terrorism financing laws.

The session, held at the Business Development Center under the presidency of TR Director General Sok Dara, focused on the recently issued Prakas on “Disciplinary Sanctions Against Reporting Entities in the Trust Sector.”

Officials said the workshop aimed to strengthen compliance among reporting entities by clarifying obligations on customer due diligence, record‑keeping, and prevention programs against money laundering and terrorist financing.

Participants included trustee companies, individual trustees and operators, who were briefed on how the sanctions framework aligns with Cambodia’s Law on Anti‑Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism, as well as international standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

The TR said the initiative is part of broader efforts to reinforce integrity in the trust sector and ensure Cambodia’s financial system meets global compliance benchmarks.
