Compliance Caribbean

Employment Screening in line with CGA and CBCS Guidelines

Training overview
Employment screening is not merely an HR practice — it forms a critical component of the integrity framework required under the guidelines issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) and the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS).

Supervisory authorities increasingly assess whether organisations effectively manage integrity, suitability and reliability risks in recruitment and onboarding processes — particularly for key and sensitive roles.

• Understand the integrity and suitability guidelines issued by CGA and CBCS (employment screening specific)
• Understand employment screening as a regulatory governance obligation
• Apply risk-based and proportionate screening practices
• Strengthen documentation and defensibility of screening decisions
• Identify gaps between current hiring practices and regulatory guidelines

• HR professionals
• Compliance Officers
• Risk Managers
• Recruiters and hiring managers
• Board members and executives responsible for integrity governance

Training content
During this four-hour session, the following topics will be addressed:

• CGA and CBCS integrity and suitability guidelines
• Regulatory expectations regarding reliability and key function holders
• Risk-based and proportionate screening practices
• Screening of senior management and sensitive roles
• Legal and ethical boundaries in background and reference checks
• Documentation standards, internal controls and auditability
• Avoiding bias while ensuring objective and defensible assessments
• Continuous improvement and periodic review of screening frameworks

Why attend this masterclass?
Supervisors increasingly evaluate whether integrity is demonstrably embedded in recruitment and onboarding processes. Employment screening is assessed not only on policy design, but on proportionality, documentation quality and defensibility.

A well-structured screening framework reduces integrity exposure, strengthens governance and supports supervisory dialogue.

This masterclass helps organisations align their employment screening practices with CGA and CBCS expectations and embed them within a robust and auditable integrity framework.
