The 2026 Corporate Governance Series (Jersey-specific) combines six core multi-jurisdictional governance topics with four Jersey-focused sessions to provide directors and senior leaders with both global perspective and local regulatory insight. Covering AI oversight, organisational resilience, cyber readiness, succession planning, board culture, and information quality, alongside in-depth explorations of the JFSC’s supervisory priorities, Jersey AML/CFT/CPF governance, risk appetite under the Codes of Practice, and the evolving responsibilities of the Jersey Company Secretary, this programme equips participants with the practical knowledge and Jersey-specific context needed to strengthen board effectiveness and meet regulatory expectations in 2026.
The series is delivered live online via Microsoft TEAMS and recorded where possible. Each webinar provides 1-hour of CPD.
