This call for evidence ran from
10am on 22 July 2021 to 11:45pm on 14 October 2021

Call for evidence description

This call for evidence supports the review which will aim to assess the UK’s anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing regulatory (the Money Laundering Regulations and Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision (OPBAS) regulations) and supervisory regimes.

The intention is to do this by looking at three themes in this document: the overall effectiveness of the regimes and their extent (i.e. the sectors in scope as relevant entities); whether key elements of the current regulations are operating as intended; and the structure of the supervisory regime including the work of OPBAS to improve effectiveness and consistency of PBS supervision.

The government is keen to ensure that the UK’s anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing regime effectively deters money laundering and terrorist financing activity, whilst being proportionate and managing burdens on businesses.

A consultation on amendments to the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 will be run in parallel to this call for evidence.
