Barry Faudemer receives Lifetime Achievement Award at Jersey’s inaugural Compliance Awards.

Baker Regulatory (Baker & Partners’ regulatory arm) is delighted to announce that our Chief Executive, Barry Faudemer, was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the inaugural Compliance Awards last night, supported by the School of International Financial Services (SIFS) and hosted at the Royal Yacht Hotel. 

It is a recognition that could not be more deserved.

Barry’s career in financial crime prevention, regulation, and compliance spans decades. As a former Director of Enforcement of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, he played a central role in developing Jersey’s Financial Services Law (1998) and Proceeds of Crime Law (1999).

Prior to that, he served for 27 years in the States of Jersey Police, rising to lead the Joint Police and Customs Financial Crimes Unit, which included responsibility for Jersey’s Financial Intelligence Unit.

He is also a graduate of the prestigious FBI Academy, where he studied counter terrorism, terrorist financing and cybercrime alongside 300 senior police officers from across 25 countries. Barry was the only alumnus chosen to deliver a speech at the graduation ceremony, which was attended by then-Director of the FBI, Robert Mueller.

His expertise has taken him far beyond Jersey’s shores. In the past two years alone, Barry has delivered financial investigation training to law enforcement, regulators and prosecutors in Ghana and Kenya. The training is part of a major initiative in collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale (GIZ), to deliver financial crime investigation training in Peru, Kenya, Senegal, Tunisia, Ghana and the Western Balkans. Barry acted as project coordinator for the training provided in these jurisdictions.

Barry helped found the Jersey Fraud Prevention Forum, is a previous chair of the Tripartite Working Group of the LOD, JFSC, and States of Jersey Police, and authored Jersey’s definitive Money Laundering Typologies Booklet. He also lectures internationally, including at the annual International Symposium on Economic Crime at Jesus College, Cambridge.

Barry holds a Distinction in the ICA Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering (from Manchester University), an IOD Diploma in Company Direction, and remains a member of the FBI Academy.
