Ogier Regulatory Consulting to discuss reducing risk around virtual assets

Ogier Regulatory Consulting will explore virtual assets and the Financial Action Task Force's global guidance on how to reduce risks around this innovative area of finance at an event on Wednesday 24 January.

This Trusts Advisory Group seminar focuses specifically on virtual assets AML controls, the use of Open-Source Intelligence and Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 16, also known as the Travel Rule.

The seminar will also consider what software and platforms are available to risk rate virtual asset wallet addresses and virtual asset service providers (VASPs) themselves.

Finally, the seminar will also contemplate how FATF's Recommendation 16 came about and the challenges facing VASPs in the face of global adoption.

Ogier Regulatory Consulting director Amanda Reilly will open proceedings before handing over to senior virtual assets consultant Andy Carpenter. The seminar will be held at Ogier's Jersey office on the Esplanade.

Managing director of Ogier Regulatory Consulting Tui Iti said: "Participants will get to understand the origins of the FATF requirements, how these are now relevant for virtual assets and the challenges that are being faced regarding the global implementation of the Travel Rule."

Ogier's Trusts Advisory Group draws together trusts and dispute resolution practitioners in a seamless contentious and non-contentious advisory service which also includes relevant corporate support.
