Themis, a pioneer in the use of AI in the fight against financial crime and a certified B-Corp, has launched its Country Risk Briefings, a series of concise, expert-led reports designed to cut through complexity and deliver actionable intelligence on financial crime risk across jurisdictions globally.
National risk assessments and Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluations often run to hundreds of pages, leaving compliance teams with the difficult task of extracting what matters most. Themis Country Risk Briefings condense this information into clear, structured insight, providing the speed and clarity organisations need to make confident decisions.
"As FATF makes clear, understanding country risk is not optional. Businesses must know where exposure to money laundering, terrorist financing or sanctions evasion is higher and apply stronger controls accordingly. Without this, companies face regulatory penalties, reputational harm and financial loss — risks that are entirely avoidable with the right intelligence in place."
Dickon Johnstone, Founder and CEO of Themis
Each briefing offers a holistic view of a jurisdiction’s risk profile. Readers will find essential economic and governance context, analysis of financial crime threats and sectoral vulnerabilities; and a strategic “expert view” on where risks are most acute and why. Regulatory frameworks are mapped in simple terms, while FATF ratings are distilled into at-a-glance summaries. Risks are visualised through a detailed crime typology matrix and brought to life through case studies that illustrate how illicit finance plays out in practice. Practical “red flag” watchpoints tie these insights directly to onboarding, monitoring and due diligence processes.
"With our new Country Risk Briefings, we’re cutting through the noise. Instead of wading through hundreds of pages, decision-makers get the focused intelligence they need to navigate financial crime risks across markets with confidence."
Nadia O'Shaughnessy, Head of Insight
Democratically priced and accessible via subscription or single-purchase, the Briefings are designed for financial institutions, corporates, advisory professionals and investment teams who need fast, reliable intelligence to support onboarding, risk assessments and strategic decisions.
For those requiring deeper analysis, Themis also offers bespoke Country Risk Reports, tailored to a client’s footprint, sectoral exposure and regulatory obligations. These can be further supported with discreet in-country intelligence and executive briefings to senior stakeholders.
