Baker Tilly Channel Islands is proud to sponsor Miles That Matter 2025, a Jersey charity event featuring a 5K and 10K run/walk on 6 September, founded by colleague Wendy Freitas in memory of her sister Emily. This community fundraiser supports the Jersey Children’s Charity, helping provide medical equipment, treatment, and emotional support for children and families in Jersey facing serious illness.

Baker Tilly Channel Islands has promoted Gerrit Heyneke to Associate Director in the Assurance and Advisory department. Since joining in 2022, Gerrit has brought extensive experience across multiple sectors and reporting frameworks, alongside a strong focus on ESG. His promotion reflects the firm’s commitment to developing talent and delivering expert, forward-thinking client service.

Sandy Cameron highlights the critical role of directors, particularly independent ones, in actively challenging investment valuations to uphold strong governance and safeguard investor interests in the Channel Islands’ fund industry. He calls for a cultural shift toward proactive oversight, encouraging directors to ask difficult questions, seek independent advice when needed, and ensure valuation processes are rigorous, consistent, and transparent.
