Money laundering regulations, procedures, risk, compliance and due diligence
The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017)
The MLR 2017 (replacing the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (MLR 2007) and the Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2007)creates a number of new responsibilities across all sectors and introduces a more risk-based approach to tackling money laundering and terrorist financing. It is extremely important that all individuals and businesses are fully aware of the wide-reaching implications of the 2017 Regulations and know whether they are complying because there are strict and in some cases, criminal sanctions in place for failure to comply.
Persons covered by MLR 2017 (“relevant persons”) largely remain the same as under the previous Regulations. In addition, all gambling providers are now caught by MLR 2017 and trustees have greater obligations relating to transparency of beneficiaries in their trusts.
