Policy and Risk

Policy

Our Policy team ensures Jersey’s regulatory framework is aligned with international standards. We work with a variety of stakeholders, including governments, policymakers, competent authorities, industry representatives, the third sector and members of the public, to achieve successful outcomes.

We make risk-based decisions on topics like conduct and prudential regulation, as well as the prevention and mitigation of illicit finance.
The Policy team's role is diverse, involving extensive collaboration and managing complex, technical issues, including emerging areas.

We are always keen to hear views on the work we are doing, even outside of the formal consultation process. If you would like to get in touch to discuss our work, email policy@jerseyfsc.org.

How our policy team can assist other regulatory authorities

Policy will consider and, where appropriate, address relevant information requests that refer to guidance, policy and international agreements (Memoranda of Understanding).

If you believe your query falls within the mandate of the Policy division, send your request to policy@jerseyfsc.org

We cannot offer legal advice, instead we encourage you to seek independent advice.

Refer to our confidentiality requirements for shared information guidance for further direction on confidentiality concerning   information requests and information gateways that we apply on a case-by-case basis. 

Risk

In pursuit of our statutory objectives, we have identified some principal risks that we seek to manage through our regulation and supervision of Jersey’s financial services businesses and our own internal operations.

We are an integral part of Jersey’s financial services industry and we work together with Government and the local regulated community to manage the risks we all face.

We are exposed to risk from various quarters - whether on the global stage in relation to political and economic issues or closer to home with the industry we regulate and our own internal processes.
