Professional Officer – a well-established regulated status
In light of recent well publicised cases such as “Weavering” in the Cayman Islands along with so called “jumbo directors” (individuals acting in a non-executive director capacity to over 100 companies), the Isle of Man has shown itself to be forward thinking. Since 2000, individual non-executive directors within this jurisdiction, who hold more than 10 directorships of independent entities, are subject to regulation as “Professional Officers”.

Note to US Investors
A Proposed legislative Bill was recently released jointly by the US House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, which, if enacted, will affect all payments made on or after 1 January 2011 to certain investors in US securities. As such, potentially affected parties should consider their options and take appropriate action before that date. We understand that there is a high likelihood of the Bill becoming law early in 2010.

FMAIOM welcomes Michael Foot’s review of Crown Dependencies
The FMAIOM welcomes the publication of Michael Foot’s review of Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
The review gives a clear endorsement of the Isle of Man’s status as a well regulated and cooperative jurisdiction within the International arena. In this respect, the review merely reinforces the recent IMF report findings; however, more importantly, the review also gives a detailed and independent overview of the economic flows between the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom and the fiscal position of the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
