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

THE GLOBAL WORLD OF AML – FOLLOW THE MONEY • What Is ML in the offshore world?

• What isn’t ML in the offshore world?
• What might be ML in the global picture?
• Cost/benefit analysis applied to AML
• Dynamics among key players – governments, OECD, tax authorities, NGOs
• Future scenarios and AML – government regulation, multilateral deals, self-regulation, standards markets

Drawing upon market research, experience in running the Global Financial Centres Index and involvement in international standards, this session will provide a broad perspective of AML. The objective of this session is to provide participants with the background to make their own assessment of future AML regulations. Professor Michael Mainelli, Chartered FCSI, Chairman Z/YEN Group

MONITORING GEOGRAPHIC RISK FOR AML/CTF

• The importance of geographic risk for AML/CTF
• Synthesizing elements for ML risk from corruption, bribery, etc.
• Reviewing different geographic related AML lists (NCCT, INCSR, OFCs, etc)
• Jurisdiction risk identification methodologies

While the importance of geographic locations for AML compliance is paramount, it remains difficult to both integrate and synthesize it on the basis of information that is available for AML-risk scoring techniques. As the identification and measurement of risk for Anti-Money Laundering has four essential pillars (products, services, customers, geographic locations), the consideration of geography for AML risk is extremely useful in the application of policies, procedures, systems, and controls. This session will review the geographic-related aspects to monitoring AML/CTF risk.

• Dynamic anomaly & pattern response approaches • Novel suppliers

Current AML technology is poor, typically providing an uneconomic number of false positives. However, the increasing importance of compliance as a cost driver is forcing financial services firms to reconsider their compliance architectures. Some of the new architectures are based around novel techniques, others around novel uses of traditional techniques from other disciplines, still others from novel suppliers, e.g. Google. The objective of this session is to provide participants with a broader technology horizon upon which to base their infrastructure decisions.
