Jersey Finance, in partnership with Themis, is delighted to be hosting a roundtable event on assessing US financial crime risk. This is a CPD-accredited event exclusively open to those who work in Jersey’s finance industry.

Understanding financial crime risks is a cornerstone of the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation. The majority of clients and customers serviced by our industry are non-resident; therefore, an area of focus is our approach to understanding and managing financial crime risks and threats associated with conducting business in high-risk jurisdictions.

To help our industry’s risk understanding, Jersey Finance has engaged Themis, a financial crime specialist, to jointly host a discussion with experts, focussing on the US.

Attendees will hear from an expert panel of practitioners and have the opportunity to ask questions on the key financial crime threats to the US, as well as explore the implications for the operations of finance firms in Jersey or firms with clients and partners based in the US.

This event is highly recommended for representatives from compliance functions. Multiple attendees from finance firms in Jersey are welcome.

If you have any queries about this event, please contact a member of our events team.
