Isle of Man, 6 April 2017 – Paul Heckles, an anti-money laundering (AML) and combatting the financing of terrorism (CFT) expert at the Isle of Man Government Cabinet Office and Caren Pegg, a partner at local law firm Appleby complete an impressive line-up of speakers at ICSA: The Governance Institute’s annual conference for governance, risk and compliance professionals in the Isle of Man. Taking place at the Sefton Hotel, Douglas on 10 May 2017, the conference will focus on the steps businesses and other organisations can take to secure their future during times of great risk and uncertainty.
“The regulation of financial services is more important than ever and ensuring that the Isle of Man is in line with current anti-money laundering measures is a key priority for the Isle of Man Government. We are fortunate, therefore, to have Paul, an expert in the field, discussing recommendations for improvements in the Isle of Man’s AML and CFT regime. We are also delighted that Caren will be joining us to share her expertise in employment issues that digital age businesses need to consider in order to secure their future, including considering alternative working arrangements and managing the risks associated with social media in the workplace effectively,” says Christine Clucas, Chair of ICSA’s Isle of Man Branch.
The conference, which also focusses on corporate governance, leadership, minute taking, financial risk management and mindfulness, will feature:
- Keynote speaker Chris Hodge, Policy Consultant at ICSA and former Director of Corporate Governance at the Financial Reporting Council, who will be discussing the UK Government’s review of corporate governance as it seeks to crack down on boardroom excess and rebuild trust in business
