KPMG has promoted Wayne Ferbrache to Director within its Advisory practice.
Wayne joined (pictured) KPMG in 2021 and leads Financial Crime advisory services in Guernsey. He advises a broad range of clients across the financial services sector on anti-money laundering, sanctions, fraud risk, regulatory compliance, governance and operational resilience matters. He has played a key role in the continued growth of KPMG’s Advisory practice, supporting major client relationships, developing service offerings and mentoring colleagues across the business.
Prior to joining KPMG, Wayne held senior positions within both law enforcement and regulation, including roles with Guernsey Police and the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. This breadth of experience provides him with a unique perspective on financial crime prevention, regulatory expectations, risk management and organisational effectiveness.
Alongside leading client engagements, Wayne has contributed to industry initiatives and working groups across the Crown Dependencies and KPMG Islands Group’s network of international finance centres, while supporting business development and collaboration across the UK corridor. He is recognised for helping organisations address the growing convergence between governance, operations, regulatory risk and compliance, and for advising on how technology and automation can strengthen resilience, scalability and long-term sustainability.
Linda Johnson, Advisory Partner at KPMG in the Crown Dependencies, said, “Wayne’s promotion to Director is thoroughly deserved. Throughout his career he has demonstrated exceptional integrity, sound judgement and an unwavering commitment to delivering positive outcomes for clients and colleagues. What sets Wayne apart is the breadth of perspective he brings, having worked as an investigator, regulator and adviser. This enables him to understand not only what regulations require, but why they exist, how they are interpreted by supervisors and how they can be implemented effectively within organisations.”
