Midshore Consulting Limited

The Guernsey AML Regime has recently seen the launch of the new AML Handbook alongside new legislation. Midshore’s AML specialists can assist with implementing the new regime, ensuring changes are implemented at the operational level.
Midshore can also provide a regulatory assurance service, ensuring that you are confident in your approach to the new requirements.
Training has also been made more prescriptive in the new handbook, and our solutions can ensure that relevant staff at all levels, including the MLRO & MLCO, meet the revised training standard. Find out more

Often firms don’t need ongoing consultancy services, but want the ability to access the services of a consultant on a “rapid response” basis. The Assure by Midshore service provides a one-stop shop for those seeking support across the range of regulation. There are two options of service (subscription and ad-hoc) and both form part of an ongoing contract. The subscription service provides a faster turnaround time and reduced ongoing costs, whilst the ad-hoc service has no standing charge but a higher hourly rate. Whether the question be AML/CFT, GDPR, FATCA/CRS or many other areas, Assure is the service to assist compliance officers, company directors and data protection officers in ensuring they have the answers when they need them.

Financial services products and services are often sold cross-border. Whilst the EU has sought to standardise this process with UCITS, AIFMD, IDD and MiFID II/MiFIR there are many differing regimes operating internationally to allow for cross-border distribution of products and services from one jurisdiction to another.
Furthermore, cross-border offerings from outside the EU cannot avail of the “passport” operating between EU and EEA member states.
Compass is Midshore’s service helping firms to navigate these international requirements and assisting with registration, regulatory reporting and documentation requirements on a global basis – all on a cost-efficient basis.
Midshore can also assist with structuring products in the right jurisdiction for your client base, our principal consultant has experience of dealing with investment products in over a dozen jurisdictions as well as cross-border restructuring across many of those. Find out more
