On course - Antigua & Barbuda

Resolve by Antigua & Barbuda to tighten controls on illicit finance is clear from the findings of successive follow-up reports on its Caribbean Financial Action Task Force evaluation in 2017. Legislative and regulatory reforms though are a dead letter if not backed by resource so an expanded financial intelligence unit and government focus on non-profit organisations, encountered by Gemma Handy, in St John's, Antigua & Barbuda, and Keith Nuthall, are positive signs of action on the ground, even as they discover there is much more to do.
