Casti Energies & Services GH Ltd runs the operating floor under Ghanaian law — origination, inventory, and the physical verification of every delivery the House confirms, under National Petroleum Authority licence.
African House ›Casti Capital Ltd sits under English law as the Group’s Financial & Petroleum Advisers. Each entity stands on its own balance sheet and is governed independently, at arm’s length.

The Department of Compliance, Risk & Governance holds the protective brief across the House — constituted across five pillars, exercised concurrently, and held to the frameworks international trade-finance banks expect.
Risk frameworks across physical trading and energy markets — volatility, credit, counterparty exposure, liquidity — under English, Ghanaian and ECOWAS law.
AML/CFT, international sanctions and advanced KYC — the primary shield against financial crime that sustains correspondent-bank confidence.
Information-security architecture to ISO 27001 principles, secure counterparty platforms, and data-protection compliance.
Counterparty screening, beneficial-ownership investigation and adverse-media checks that insulate the House from bad actors.
Sector and jurisdictional intelligence supporting every commercial and capital decision; counterparty communications and brand.
The Office of the Chief Compliance Officer operates with deliberate independence from commercial execution, and holds standing board-level authority to halt, escalate or require remediation of any transaction presenting unacceptable regulatory or reputational exposure.
Three officers hold the executive authority of the Group. Office before officer; record before claim.

Heads the Department of Compliance, Risk & Governance across a dual-jurisdiction mandate spanning the United Kingdom, Ghana and ECOWAS — with deliberate independence from commercial execution and standing authority to halt.
