I want to reproject a JPG raster image from EPSG:3467 to a TIF in EPSG:25832.

After the transformation, I then check to see the properties in ArcGIS and the coordinate system is always empty. Why can ArcGIS not recognise the CRS?

Take a look at the Quick Facts for the TIFF or GeoTIFF writer (depending which you're using). Under Coordinate System Support, both say:

Coordinates with coordinate system information can be stored in TAB files; and coordinates (without coordinate system information) can be stored in world (.tfw) files.

ArcGIS uses the TFW format for coordinates, so you can't write TIFFs for ArcGIS that contain coordinate system information.

If you can, I'd suggest using the File Geodatabase Raster writer instead.
