THE COMMISSION

1.1

Overview 1.1.1

1.2

The Jersey Financial Services Commission (the “Commission”) is a statutory body corporate established under the Financial Services Commission (Jersey) Law 1998 (the “Commission Law”). It is responsible for the supervision and development of financial services provided in or from within Jersey.

Commission’s functions 1.2.1

The Commission Law prescribes that the Commission shall be responsible for: 1.2.1.1

the supervision and development of financial services provided in or from within Jersey;

1.2.1.2

providing the States of Jersey, any Minister or any other public body with reports, advice, assistance and information in relation to any matter connected with financial services;

1.2.1.3

preparing and submitting to Ministers recommendations for the introduction, amendment or replacement of legislation appertaining to financial services, companies and other forms of business structure;

1.2.1.4

such functions in relation to financial services or such incidental or ancillary matters: • as are required or authorised by or under any enactment, or • as the States of Jersey may, by Regulations, transfer; and

1.2.1.5

1.3

Guiding principles 1.3.1

4 of 31

such other functions as are conferred on the Commission by any other Law or enactment.

The Commission’s guiding principles require it to have particular regard to: 1.3.1.1

the reduction of risk to the public of financial loss due to dishonesty, incompetence, malpractice, or the financial unsoundness of persons carrying on the business of financial services in or from within Jersey;

1.3.1.2

the protection and enhancement of the reputation and integrity of Jersey in commercial and financial matters;

1.3.1.3

the best economic interests of Jersey; and

1.3.1.4

the need to counter financial crime in both Jersey and elsewhere.

Commission’s role with respect to AML/CFT 1.4.1

1.4.2

With respect to the need to counter financial crime in both Jersey and elsewhere, the Commission is the supervisory body that exercises supervisory functions in respect of: 1.4.1.1

regulated persons 1; and

1.4.1.2

persons carrying on a specified Schedule 2 business1.

The supervisory functions to be exercised by the Commission are defined in Article 2 of the Proceeds of Crime (Supervisory Bodies) (Jersey) Law 2008 (the “Supervisory Bodies Law”), namely: 1.4.2.1

monitoring compliance by a supervised person1 with: • any requirement to which that person is subject under the Supervisory Bodies Law; • any Order made under Article 37 of the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999 (the “Proceeds of Crime Law”); • any direction under Article 6 of the Money Laundering and Weapons Development (Directions) (Jersey) Law 2012; and • any Code of Practice that applies to that person or the supervised business1 carried on by that person;

1.4.2.2

1.4.3

1

carrying out the functions, powers and duties conferred under the Supervisory Bodies Law for the purpose of compliance by a supervised person with the requirements described in 1.4.2.1.

In accordance with Article 22 of the Supervisory Bodies Law, the Commission, as the supervisory body, has prepared and issued Codes of Practice. Currently, these may be found as “regulatory requirements” in: 1.4.3.1

The Handbook for the Prevention and Detection of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism for Financial Services Business Regulated under the Regulatory Laws (the “AML/CFT Handbook”);

1.4.3.2

The Handbook for the Prevention and Detection of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism for the Legal Sector (the “Handbook for the Legal Sector”);

1.4.3.3

The Handbook for the Prevention and Detection of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism for the Accountancy Sector (the “Handbook for the Accountancy Sector”); and

These terms are defined in Article 1 of the Supervisory Bodies Law.

Approach to Consultation

2

APPROACH TO FUTURE CONSULTATION

2.1

Overview Consultation papers 2.1.1

The Commission has identified a need to propose changes to the Handbooks. The proposed changes: (i) take account of recent and proposed legislative amendments; (ii) provide guidance on specific sectors; and (iii) emanate from the Commission’s continuous review of its regulatory processes.

2.1.2

In order to cover these changes in a way that promotes an efficient use of Commission and industry resources, this position paper highlights the publication of a series of consultation papers over the coming months.

2.1.3

Each of the consultation papers in the series will provide full details of the proposed changes, and submissions will be invited on each consultation paper as it is published.

2.1.4

This position paper describes the approach to be taken to the series of consultation papers; provides a very high-level overview of the matters to be consulted on; and provides an indicative timeline for each consultation.

2.1.5

Many of the changes proposed will have an impact on all Handbooks. Rather than include multiple Handbook references in the relevant consultation papers the Commission will only reference sections of the AML/CFT Handbook. To assist those relevant persons within the scope of either the Handbook for the Legal Sector or the Handbook for the Accountancy Sector, Appendix A contains a mapping (at paragraph heading level) of those Handbooks against the AML/CFT Handbook.

2.1.6

Appendix A does not include the Handbook for Estate Agents and High Value Dealers as the construction of the document is quite different.

New structure 2.1.7

Additionally, this position paper provides information on the amended structure for the Handbooks which is to be implemented by the Commission.

Other Handbooks 2.1.8

The amendments to the Handbook for the Legal Sector, the Handbook for the Accountancy Sector, and the Handbook for Estate Agents and High Value Dealers will be based on the underlying policy/principles of the relevant consultation paper.

2.1.9

With respect to the accountancy, legal, estate agent and high value dealer sectors, in addition to the amendments that will be proposed through the series of consultation papers, the Commission is separately conducting work which will propose other amendments to the relevant Handbooks to take account of matters that are particular to those sectors. Consultation on these

REVISIONS TO COMMISSION AML/CFT HANDBOOKS

7 of 31

Approach to Consultation amendments will be conducted directly with the impacted sector and will not form part of the series of consultation papers.

2.2

2.3

Basis for the planned consultation 2.2.1

The Commission will issue the planned consultation papers in accordance with Article 8(3) of the Commission Law, under which the Commission “may, in connection with the carrying out of its functions - ….consult and seek the advice of such persons or bodies whether inside or outside Jersey as it considers appropriate”.

2.2.2

In addition, the Commission is required to consult on amendments to Codes of Practice that are issued in accordance with Article 22 of the Supervisory Bodies Law. In the Handbooks, the Codes of Practice are currently described as “regulatory requirements” to differentiate from the parts of the Handbooks that summarise the statutory requirements or provide guidance.

Cost benefit analysis 2.3.1

2.4

8 of 31

Each consultation paper will include a section relating to the costs and benefits associated with the subject of the consultation.

Responding to each consultation paper 2.4.1

The Commission intends to invites comments in writing from interested parties on each consultation paper as it is published.

2.4.2

Where comments are made by an industry body or association, that body or association should also provide a summary of the type of individuals and/or institutions that it represents.

2.4.3

To assist in analysing responses to the consultation paper, respondents are asked to: 2.4.3.1

prioritise comments and to indicate their relative importance; and

2.4.3.2

respond as specifically as possible and, where they refer to costs, to quantify those costs.

2.4.4

At this stage, it is anticipated that the comment period for each consultation paper will be between four and six weeks from the date of publication.

2.4.5

Mindful of the necessarily short period of time available for responding, the questions associated with each consultation will also be made available as an online survey which may be completed alongside a consideration of the proposed amendments.

2.4.6

Whilst the Commission’s strong preference is (where possible) for respondents to use the online survey, respondents may also email their responses to the Commission using the following address: [email protected]. It will also be possible to respond through Jersey Finance Limited (“Jersey Finance”). Where responses are submitted by e-mail or through Jersey Finance, please

ISSUED JULY 2014

Approach to Consultation include the consultation paper number in the subject line of the email e.g. Consultation Paper AML 1. 2.4.7

2.5

2.6

If you require any assistance, clarification or wish to discuss any aspect of any of the consultation papers prior to formulating a response, it is of course appropriate to contact Andrew Le Brun at the Commission.

Consultation feedback 2.5.1

Whilst it continues to be the policy of the Commission to make the content of all responses available for public inspection unless specifically requested otherwise, the Commission does not anticipate publishing the responses it receives.

2.5.2

Given the nature of the series of consultation papers, the Commission has decided to provide feedback after publication of the first three consultations and then again at the end of the series. The Commission will prepare and publish appropriate sections of the Handbooks as part of the feedback papers.

2.5.3

It is intended that the majority of changes that are proposed to the Handbooks should have effect before the end of 2014.

Communication strategy 2.6.1

In order to better manage the series of consultation papers and provide interested parties with regular information, the Commission will establish a new webpage on its website.

2.6.2

The webpage will contain the series of consultation papers, feedback papers, and the latest news regarding closing comment periods and forthcoming consultation papers.

2.6.3

When one of the series of consultation papers is published the Commission will, at a minimum: 2.6.3.1

update the Latest News section of the Commission website;

2.6.3.2

advise relevant persons through a mailshot email; and

2.6.3.3

publish the consultation paper on the Commission’s new webpage.

2.6.4

As this position paper, the series of consultation papers and the two feedback papers are linked, the Commission has adapted its numbering convention such that the papers will be referred to as Consultation Paper AML 1, Consultation Paper AML 2 etc.

2.6.5

The Commission will also continue to involve its AML/CFT Steering Group in the consultation process.

OUTLINE OF MATTERS TO BE CONSULTED ON

3.1

Nature of changes

10 of 31

3.1.1

The nature and purpose of the proposed changes may be classified in the following five ways.

3.1.2

First, updates to provisions of the Handbooks to: 3.1.2.1

reflect the changes made to the Money Laundering (Jersey) Order 2008 (the “Money Laundering Order”) by the Money Laundering (Amendment No 6) (Jersey) Order 2013, in force from 18 December 2013 (“Amendment No. 6”);

3.1.2.2

anticipate changes that the Minister will be asked to make to the Money Laundering Order following the recent consultation on the draft Money Laundering (Amendment No 7) (Jersey) Order 201(“Amendment No. 7”); and

3.1.2.3

reflect changes made to the Proceeds of Crime Law and Terrorism (Jersey) Law 2002 following the coming into force of the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorism (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Jersey) Law 2014 on 4 August 2014.

3.1.3

Second, general updates to the provisions of the Handbooks to reduce duplication of statutory and regulatory requirements, promote greater consistency in terminology between the Money Laundering Order and the Handbooks, and to clarify the status and improve the clarity of guidance.

3.1.4

Third, with respect to sector specific guidance: 3.1.4.1

new sector specific guidance for funds and fund services businesses; and

3.1.4.2

updates to existing guidance for trust company business.

3.1.5

Fourth, new guidance on the use of technology and the risks presented by the introduction of new products and services, starting with the increasing use of pre-paid cards.

3.1.6

Fifth, new guidance in relation to specific AML/CFT obligations, namely training and reporting of suspicious activity – areas that were identified in 2013 as needing some further work.

STRUCTURE OF THE HANDBOOKS

4.1

Amended structure 4.1.1

In conjunction with amending the Handbooks through the series of consultation papers, the Commission is taking the opportunity to restructure the AML/CFT Handbook. Where relevant, equivalent amendments will be applied to the Handbook for the Accountancy Sector, the Handbook for the Legal Sector, and the Handbook for Estate Agents and High Value Dealers.

4.1.2

Appendix B shows the proposed new structure for the AML/CFT Handbook.

4.1.3

The structure of the Handbooks will be amended as follows: 4.1.3.1

use of a single Glossary across all Handbooks (see 4.2);

4.1.3.2

Part 1 of the AML/CFT Handbook to comprise of three elements: • General sections, including some renumbering and reordering (see 4.3), • Sector specific sections, and • Appendices;

4.2

deletion of the log of amendments (Part 4 of the AML/CFT Handbook), on the basis that the Commission will, in future, publish marked-up versions of the Handbooks to highlight changes (in the same way that it currently does for Codes of Practice issued under the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998 and other regulatory laws); and

4.1.3.4

publication of a new Part 4 to the AML/CFT Handbook containing further reference material.

Glossary 4.2.1

4.3

4.1.3.3

Currently there are two glossaries associated with the Handbooks with many of the defined terms being common to both glossaries. These glossaries will be merged – as presented in Appendix C.

Part 1 of the AML/CFT Handbook 4.3.1

In order to assist with the “digestion” of current Section 4 of the AML/CFT Handbook, a long and very technical section, the following areas are to be addressed in new shorter sections: 4.3.1.1

Reliance on obliged persons – new Section 5; and

4.3.1.2

Enhanced and simplified customer due diligence (“CDD”) measures - new Section 7.

REVISIONS TO COMMISSION AML/CFT HANDBOOKS

Structure of the Handbooks

4.3.2

Part of current Section 3, dealing with the application of enhanced CDD measures is to be moved to new Section 7, so that the focus of Section 3 will be to provide a general overview of the application of identification measures to customers.

4.3.3

Current Section 9, which deals with the application of identification measures to “existing customers”, is to be moved to Section 4 and covered as part of a section dealing with the timing of identification measures. As a result, all provisions dealing with finding out the identity of, and obtaining evidence of identity for, customers will be presented in one section.
