UAE Financial Crime Risk Assessment Roundtable – In Partnership with Themis
8.30 am - 12.00 pm
BST
Location: Royal Yacht Hotel, Jersey
Jersey Finance, in partnership with Themis, is delighted to host this Jersey Finance Member-only UAE Risk Assessment roundtable – a CPD accredited event.
Understanding financial crime risk is a cornerstone of the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation. The majority of the customers of the Jersey finance industry are non-resident therefore an area of focus is the industry’s approach to understanding and managing the financial crime risks and threats of conducting business in higher risk jurisdictions.
To help with Member firms’ risk understanding Jersey Finance have engaged Themis, a financial crime specialist with an office in the UAE and extensive knowledge of the local market, to jointly host a roundtable discussion event with experts focussed on the UAE.
The roundtable event provides an opportunity to hear from an expert panel of UAE-based practitioners and question the expert panel about key financial crime threats to the UAE and explore the implications for Jersey Finance Member firm’s Jersey operations or Members with clients and partners based in the UAE.
These discussions will build on the information in the UAE country risk report and be held under Chatham House Rules to encourage debate and the sharing of best practice.
In 2023, Jersey will be the subject of a significant evaluation by a body of the Council of Europe – MONEYVAL (Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism) – who conduct evaluations against international AML/CFT standards as set out by the Financial Action Task Force (the FATF). This process will involve an assessment of the role of the finance industry in understanding risks and applying preventative measures. This work is designed to both develop that understanding for industry and demonstrate our clear commitment to implementing international AML/CFT standards.
This event is highly recommended for representatives from Jersey Finance Member firms’ compliance function, in addition to other business areas, and we welcome multiple attendees from Member firms.
