Caribbean Compliance Veteran Publishes First Practitioner Memoir "Letters to a Compliance Officer"

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, April 5, 2026 -- Team Shaw Caribbean Press today announces the global publication of "Letters to a Compliance Officer: What They Never Told You About the Job That Protects Everyone" by Theon Alleyne, CRCP, CCEP.

The book launched today on 14 platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Amazon paperback, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Gumroad, Everand, Bookshop.org, Tolino, BorrowBox, Gardners, Smashwords and Vivlio. Additional library platforms, including OverDrive, cloudLibrary, Hoopla and Fable, are processing the title.

Written as 28 personal letters to a fictional compliance professional named Alex, "Letters to a Compliance Officer" is what the publisher describes as the first practitioner memoir in the compliance profession and the first compliance book written from a Caribbean perspective for a global audience, filling a long-standing gap in the professional literature.

"Compliance is often seen as a back-office function, until something goes wrong. Theon Alleyne pulls back the curtain on the real pressures, decisions, and consequences that define the role," said Andrew Waxman, author of "Rogues of Wall Street" (Wiley).

The compliance profession has grown dramatically across the Caribbean, West Africa, East Africa and Southeast Asia, driven by FATF standards and increasing regulatory scrutiny from multilateral institutions. Yet the professional literature serving these practitioners has been written almost exclusively from a North American or European perspective.

"Letters to a Compliance Officer" corrects that gap. Drawing on enforcement cases from the Caribbean and West Africa alongside Alleyne's original compliance research on African and Caribbean financial crime risk, the book speaks directly to compliance officers working in Georgetown, Lagos, Nairobi and Port of Spain, professionals who have never had a book that reflected their daily reality.

"Letters to a Compliance Officer captures the judgment, integrity, and pressure at the heart of compliance and explains it with the clarity and honesty you'd expect from a great mentor," said Devon Pinder, MBA, CAMS, founding director of the Association of Compliance Professionals of Guyana.

The book is available now. Ebook: $9.99; paperback: $18.99. Purchase at books2read.com/u/brzqYw or search "Letters to a Compliance Officer" on any major retailer. Review copies and author interviews are available on request.
