Tackling Financial Crime Linked to Online Child Exploitation | Finance Events in Jersey, CI

Overview
Speakers

Jump to

The misuse of financial systems to facilitate, obfuscate or launder the proceeds of online child sexual exploitation – a cyber-enabled crime – is an increasingly urgent concern and the subject of a 2025 report from the FATF. Improved understanding of this type of cyber-enabled crime can help to connect financial transactions to offenders and detect and disrupt situations at an earlier stage – helping to reduce the incidence of this devastating abuse and protect firms from the associated financial crime risks, such as processing payments that help facilitate or launder the proceeds of this crime.

To support our industry’s awareness and response, we have once again partnered with Themis, a financial crime specialist, to co-host a roundtable discussion focussed on financial crime risks linked to online child sexual exploitation, including how financial systems may be misused to facilitate, obscure or launder proceeds connected to this crime. Expert practitioners will offer insights into typologies, emerging trends and real-world case studies. You will also be able to engage with the panel and explore the potential implications for your firm’s operations, client relationships and risk management framework.

This is a CPD-accredited event exclusively open Jersey Finance Members. We highly recommend representatives from compliance functions attend. Multiple attendees from firms in Jersey are welcome.

More speakers to be announced.
