Former Turks and Caicos Governor Gordon Wetherell & other dignitaries will be guest speakers at the YCompliance seminar that is scheduled to be held in Bermuda in October.
Mr. Wetherell is heading to Bermuda to share his story of the TCI; also joining him will be a top executive who was jailed over the Enron scandal.
Described on its website as Bermuda’s finest financial crime and compliance event, it promises to provide the opportunity for incomparable executive networking and global intelligence. yCompliance expects to host more than 200 government officials and financial industry decision-makers over the course of the day.
Keynote addresses at the upcoming seminar will include one from Stuart Fastow, who was chief financial officer of Enron Corporation, an energy trading company based in Houston, Texas, until the US Securities and Exchange Commission opened an investigation into his and the company’s conduct in 2001.
Wetherell, will address attendees after assuming direct political control back in August 2009 when the UK imposed direct rule.
This is the 2nd Annual Financial Crime and Compliance Seminar in Bermuda, which is slated in October; this year’s theme is “Who can you trust?”
Commenting on the upcoming seminar, yCompliance said in a statement, “The current high expectation of transparency and honesty reflects the concerns of many voting citizens in many countries that political leaders possess and display high levels of integrity.
“Bermuda, of course, is no exception to this, as has been evident by recent political events.
“This seminar can be seen as one of the key initiatives to position Bermuda at the forefront of action against financial crimes.”
