Jersey Finance, in partnership with Themis, is delighted to be hosting a CPD-accredited financial crime risk assessment roundtable for finance firms with a Jersey Finance membership interested in the South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Understanding financial crime risk is crucial in combatting money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation. To support Jersey’s finance industry awareness, we have collaborated with Themis, a financial crime specialist, to co-host a roundtable discussion with experts examining key financial crime considerations across the ASEAN region.

The roundtable event provides an opportunity to hear from an experienced panel of practitioners, to ask questions about key financial crime threats to countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, and to explore the implications for firms with Jersey operations or firms with clients and partners based in the region.

This event is highly recommended for compliance professionals, risk managers and representatives from other key business areas. We welcome multiple attendees from finance firms with a Jersey Finance membership and an interest in the ASEAN region.
