Cayman Finance will be hosting an important seminar on Thursday, 23 March at The Ritz-Carlton, to discuss and provide information on the UK’s latest Criminal Finances Bill. The UK HM Revenue & Customs team leading the legislation will be present to provide attendees the opportunity to hear about the bill firsthand.

If the bill is passed, the new law will have significant implications on the Cayman Islands as a jurisdiction and on businesses within the local financial services industry.

Jude Scott, Cayman Finance CEO said it is important to establish a direct line of communication between Cayman’s financial services industry and those in the UK who are working to pass this legislation. “All stakeholders within the industry are encouraged to attend this seminar where attendees will hear directly from the UK officials providing the opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification on the bill to better understand how it will affect the financial services industry,” Mr Scott said.

Featured speakers will include Her Excellency the Governor, Mrs Helen Kilpatrick; Jennifer Haslett, UK HM Revenue & Customs, Corporate Crime and International Engagement; Jude Scott, Cayman Finance Chief Executive Officer; and the Ministry of Financial Services, Commerce and Environment.

The seminar will be held on 23 March from 1:00 – 5:00 pm at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. Registration is complimentary for Cayman Finance members and is USD $200 for all other attendees. To purchase tickets or RSVP visit www.caymanfinance.ky.
