The Superintendence of the Securities Market (SMV) of Panama mandates that regulated entities replace the previous F1 and F2 compliance forms with the new Operational Information and Self-Assessment Questionnaires for AML, CFT, and Proliferation Financing. These questionnaires must be submitted semi-annually, covering January to June by July 31 and July to December by January 31, via the SMV website using specific file naming conventions. This directive implements the Risk-Based Supervision system under Article 20 of Law 23 of 2015, requiring all obligated subjects to adhere to the new reporting procedures effective immediately.
