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.
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.
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.
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:
