Transparence on sanctions
The Financial Supervision Commission expects the highest standards of conduct from those involved in the corporate governance of companies. Where a person through their conduct is considered potentially unfit to carry out such a role, the Commission may petition the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man under Section 26 of the Companies Act 1992 seeking disqualification of that person from acting as:
- a director of a company; or
- a secretary of a company; or
- a liquidator of a company; or
- a receiver or manager of a company's property; or
in any way, whether directly or indirectly, being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of a company unless that person has the consent of the Court.
Details of disqualified directors are available on the website.

A spokesman for the Financial Supervision Commission (FSC), said: "'Any financial institution doing any business in the Island is required to understand the nature of the transaction being done and also has to ensure that the transaction is not deliberately breaking the laws of another country. We do not tolerate misuse of the financial system in any circumstance".
