The Financial Services Industry is a multi-faceted industry serviced by many players.  The industry involves both financial services regulators and prosecution authorities.  On the Isle of Man, the financial sector is protected by several Isle of Man government regulators and enforcers such as the police and other prosecution authorities.  Work includes routine monitoring, special investigations, and investment fraud enquiries including theft, deception, forgery and money laundering.

The Island has developed a reputation for being a premier jurisdiction in terms of regulation, achieving a balance of offering a business-friendly environment whilst meeting international standards of financial supervision.  This status is important in ensuring that the Island attracts quality insitutions and enjoys reciprocal access to overseas markets. 
Island regulatory bodies maintain close contact with international counterparts such as the Offshore Group of Banking Supervisors and the Offshore Group of Insurance Supervisors.  A key element of this co-operation is to co-ordinate efforts in pursuit of financial crime, such as the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
