My Barbados Perspective

Barbados was temporarily registered by the EU on the list of non-compliant tax jurisdictions. Although the island has now been removed from the list, concerns remain about how to manage offshore financial crime risks. In this session, Glenna Smith will share her significant experience that will help to inform risk professionals on what ‘life on the islands’ really means, and how delegates can enhance the effectiveness of their financial crime controls and accurately assess the risks for the islands.

How with this new piece of legislation change the landscape when the dust settles? He will be focusing on why it is necessary post-Brexit, how decision making will be “on-shored” to the UK and what flexibility ministers will have in the future to develop new sanctions and anti-money laundering policy in the future.
