Country Risk Briefing

Understanding the financial crime risks associated with specific jurisdictions and sectors is critical to informed decision-making; whether you’re entering a new market, expanding into a new sector, or reviewing your business-wide risk assessment. At Themis, we support clients across financial services, corporates, investment firms, and public bodies with practical, data-led insight into evolving threats, regulatory developments, and risk exposure. ‍

Our country risk offering is delivered through a range of formats: from short, downloadable briefings to fully bespoke reports and executive briefings for senior stakeholders. Our experts specialise in helping clients navigate complex and emerging risks, including informal financial sectors, political instability, corruption, environmental crime, and human trafficking. Every engagement is aligned to the client’s risk profile and strategic needs.

Clear, practical insight into jurisdictional financial crime risk delivered in a single, powerful snapshot

Why risk professionals choose our Country Risk Briefings

In an increasingly complex and dynamic financial crime environment, you don’t always have time to sift through lengthy regulatory reports, fragmented guidance, and evolving legislation. Themis Country Risk Briefings distil what matters into digestible information you can act on.

Whether you're onboarding clients, expanding into new markets or reviewing geographic exposure, our briefings give you the clarity and confidence to move faster. They are also perfect for clients who do not have big budgets to spend on bespoke reports.

For organisations needing deeper analysis, our briefings also serve as a natural springboard to our bespoke Country Risk Reports — tailored assessments that zoom in on the jurisdictions, sectors, and risk indicators that matter most to your business.

Too much data, not enough clarity?
Most national risk assessments and FATF mutual evaluations run to hundreds of pages. Our briefings condense this intelligence into a short, accessible format—without sacrificing nuance or rigour.

Limited time to assess jurisdictional risk?
Get a clear picture of a country's financial crime profile in minutes, not hours—with colour-coded heatmaps, structured scoring, and plain-English analysis.

Need jurisdiction-specific support for compliance?
Each briefing provides a snapshot of financial crime threats, sector exposure, and enforcement trends—ready to feed into onboarding decisions, risk assessments, and policy reviews.

Who are they for?

  • Financial crime & compliance teams
  • Investment committees and operations teams assessing investment into new markets and/or potential expansion into new markets  
  • Financial institutions onboarding clients across jurisdictions
  • Consultants and advisory professionals
  • Enhanced due diligence teams

Go further with a bespoke Country Risk Report

While our briefings offer a concise and practical view of financial crime risk, some clients need a deeper dive.

That’s where our bespoke Country Risk Reports come in. Tailored to your organisation’s footprint, client base, and compliance requirements, these extended reports provide:

  • Comprehensive jurisdictional threat overview: in-depth assessment of financial crime typologies such as money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing, tax crime and more.
  • Detailed sectoral risk analysis: sector-by-sector evaluation of risk exposure, with the option to zoom in on specific industries (e.g. crypto, real estate, the precious metals sector, legal and other professional business services).
  • Typology deep dives and red flags: detailed analysis of real-world typologies, high-risk behaviours and jurisdiction-specific red flags.
  • Customised watchpoints and recommendations: forward-looking insights and actionable advice tailored to your business model, client profile, or regional footprint.

As part of any bespoke commission, we can also provide tailored executive briefings — presenting findings to your senior leadership, risk committee, or investment committee, and helping embed key insights into your strategic decision-making.

Whether you operate in high-risk markets, are looking to expand your business, are preparing for regulatory scrutiny, or simply want a sharper understanding of the risks that matter most to you — we’re here to help.
