Collaboration with other supervisory authorities
The JFSC has a wide range of powers to licence, supervise and enforce the regulatory regime in Jersey. We are able to exercise many of these powers at the request of, or for the purposes of assisting, overseas supervisory authorities.
The legislation provides gateways that enable us to communicate any information held to another supervisory authority to assist them in the exercise of their supervisory functions.

Memoranda of Understanding
We are signatory to 65 bi-lateral memoranda of understanding (MoU) covering 35 jurisdictions. We are also a signatory to 3 multilateral MoUs and 28 MoU with EU Member States following the implementation of the Alternative Investment Funds Mediation Directive and Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
International co-operation
Collaboration with other supervisory authorities occurs across the JFSC. Two notable divisions are Supervision and Enforcement. The nature of their respective interaction with overseas supervisory authorities differs.
Supervision’s focus is more routine as it focuses on the authorisations process and determination of a person’s fitness and propriety for a specific key or principal person role. Enforcement’s focus is assisting other supervisory authorities with their investigations.
