Their work ranges from strategic matters to specific operational issues, with a view to ensuring that organisations, and their staff, remain protected from the risk of investigations, prosecution, penalties and even loss of licence. The team works extensively with established regulated businesses from every sector, helping them to improve their processes or deal with new issues as they arise.

BREAKFAST AND LEARN
A QUARTERLY REGULATORY UPDATE AND BRIEFING

Breakfast and learn – structure

1. Regulatory and Compliance Update - [Mathew Beale – MD Comsure]

This part of the session will take up to 15 – 20 minutes depending on market events and updates. The session will focus on regulatory market issues such and anti money laundering initiatives and updates from Jersey, the UK and further afield, including matters from FATF, transparency international and other such bodies.

2. Specific topic – Guernsey Collas Crill team – the 2012 programme will look at the following:

• a. QTR1 – Corporate Governance - The Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) has issued its Code of Corporate Governance. The Code applies to all companies holding licences from the GFSC under relevant regulatory laws such as banks, captive insurance managers and fiduciaries as well as investment funds and provides a statement of what the commission views as good corporate governance practices. This workshop will look at what needs to be done as a result of the Code’s introduction, when and why. It also provides a valuable lead into workshops 2, 3 and 4. 
Q1 will be by Paul Wilkes (a group partner) and Wayne Atkinson (a senior associate)
• b. QTR2 - The Compliance Monitoring Programme (CMP) - Whether you work in an investment business or another sector (bank, insurance, trust etc) a CMP is an essential tool to map your compliance with both external and internal rules and demonstrate that you have considered how you meet your regulatory obligations and have mitigated the risks associated with your business. This workshop will consider what an effective CMP is and how it should be implemented. 
Q2 will be by Wayne Atkinson and Ben Havard (an associate)
• c. QTR3 – Money Laundering – answering the questions you have always been afraid to ask. – if you are struggling to interpret the requirements of the handbook and would like some assistance, this workshop is designed to help. The workshop has been designed to assist firms not only to build appropriate policies and procedures to prevent and detect money laundering, but to manage the risk of not doing it the way the GFSC want you to! 
Q3 will be by Michael Adkins (a senior associate) and Ben Havard
• d. QTR4 – Dealing With The Regulator When Things Go Wrong – it is critical that all regulated businesses deal with the regulator in an open and honest manner. But what happens when things go wrong? What should you do and how should you do it? This workshop will look at the GFSC enforcement process that ranges from a poor regulatory visit resulting and compliance & operational remediation through to something more serious including revoking a regulatory licence and fining. 
Q4 will be by Paul Wilkes and Michael Adkins
