Baker Regulatory Services Hires HSBC Compliance Veteran
The compliance consultant has worked at HSBC for four decades, such as in roles covering the financial crime area for jurisdictions including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
Specialist regulatory business, Baker Regulatory Services, has
appointed Sharon Sargeant as a compliance consultant, bringing
more than four decades’ experience to the role.
Sargeant will advise financial and professional services clients
on all aspects of financial crime regulatory compliance, notably
anti-money laundering and combating financing terrorism, as well
as providing guidance on business culture and practices. Much of
her work will also focus on educating clients, from start-ups to
long-established businesses, about fraud and money laundering
risks.
Before this role, Sargeant worked at HSBC, starting from 1980
until earlier this year. She occupied various roles across the
bank before moving into compliance and financial crime in 2002
and rose to the post of head of financial crime – investigations,
for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
In September 2020 Baker Regulatory Services was launched under
the leadership of chief executive Barry Faudemer, former director
of enforcement of the Jersey Financial Services Commission.
