Job Description
Enforcement Officer
Enforcement Section
Job Purpose:
To conduct factual, high-integrity investigations into alleged regulatory breaches and financial misconduct. The Enforcement Officer is responsible for gathering evidence, analysing financial data, interviewing relevant parties, and building comprehensive evidentiary files that support the Authority’s mandate to sanction non-compliance and protect the integrity of the Seychelles non-bank financial sector.
Summary of Duties:
- Participate in unannounced inspections at the premises of regulated entities to secure physical and digital evidence, ensuring no records are tampered with or destroyed.
- Conduct exhaustive reviews of bank statements, annual returns, corporate registers, and licensee records to identify indicators of misconduct, including commingling of client funds, unauthorised transactions, or beneficial ownership non-compliance.
- Maintain the section’s evidence log, ensuring every seized or collected item is tagged, timestamped, catalogued, and stored securely in accordance with chain of custody requirements.
- Conduct formal interviews with whistleblowers, complainants, and staff members of entities under investigation, drafting accurate and properly attested witness statements.
- Evaluate initial referrals from licensing and supervision sections, Market Conduct, or public complaints to determine whether there is a prima facie breach warranting a full enforcement investigation, and prepare written triage assessments for the Manager.
- Use analytical tools to reconstruct complex financial flows, identifying ultimate beneficial owners and hidden corporate structures relevant to the investigation.
- Draft clear, technically accurate investigation notes and preliminary findings reports that can withstand legal scrutiny and support the Manager and Director in determining enforcement outcomes.
- Ensure all investigative steps are conducted in strict accordance with the FSA Act, relevant sector specific legislation, and the constitutional rights of subjects, to prevent allegations of procedural unfairness.
