The Home Office has reported that serious and organised crime is estimated to cost the UK at least £37 billion each year, with suspicious activity reports rising 10% year on year. Firms that fail to prevent money laundering, or have inadequate systems and controls, tend to pay a heavy price in the form of declining revenues, customer dissatisfaction, huge financial penalties, loss of reputation, and fall in stock prices.
Firms can find it difficult to manage cross-border and multi-jurisdictional AML-compliance requirements and ever-growing customer due diligence requirements. Identifying beneficial ownership and initiating remedial measures to address AML gaps uncovered by regulatory reviews also come with their own set of challenges. The threat to the UK remains high and is constantly evolving.
The TISA Financial Crime Working Group meets quarterly and addresses the challenges faced by firms in administering measures to counter money laundering, terrorist financing, financial and trade sanctions, bribery, corruption, fraud, market abuse, tax evasion and other relevant anti-financial crime legislation.
