| Jersey Holds Financial Crime Seminar With Asia-Pac Delegates |
by Amanda Banks, Tax-News.com, London
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
An international conference on financial crime and asset recovery, attended by
delegates from more than 20 developing countries and hosted in Jersey, concluded
this week.
The conference was held to discuss with representatives from
26 countries in Africa and Asia Pacific how best to obtain information on financial
crime and to recover the proceeds of such crime on a global basis.
Speakers included the Financial Secretary to the UK Treasury, Stephen Timms,
who congratulated Jersey’s leadership in taking the initiative to hold
the conference.
Jersey’s Chief Minister, Terry Le Sueur, said in his closing speech:
“Bringing together delegates from developing countries and speakers from
relevant international organizations, the conference has presented an excellent
opportunity to learn from the developing countries what help they most needed;
hear from the international organizations of their experience to-date in helping
in the recovery of the proceeds of financial crime; hear what help Jersey can
offer developing countries; and hear about the future global action that is
needed.”
In a statement after the conference, Le Sueur added:
“Jersey has a track record of assisting in the recovery of stolen assets,
in contributing to training programs in developing countries, and in inviting
regulators and law enforcement officials to come to Jersey to learn from our
experience at first hand. “
“The conference demonstrated that there was much appreciation of what
we have achieved in compliance with international standards on financial regulation,
anti-money laundering and tax transparency and information exchange. We are
determined to continue to play an active role in the pursuit of the G20 objectives
in helping developing countries, and the conference is but one step down a road
at the end of which hopefully there will be much of benefit for all concerned.”
