Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWire) -- 09/15/2022 --2022 has been a year in which big strides have been taken where anti-money laundering compliance is concerned. In the UK, the government published the outcome of its consultation on amendments to the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLRs) over the summer. It also published a draft of the statutory instrument that would be used to implement changes to anti-money laundering compliance. The amendments that have been proposed as part of the regime review are designed to bring the existing regulations in line with FATF standards (Financial Action Taskforce, the framework of measures that countries should implement in order to help minimise the potential for money laundering). The regime changes will also fill any gaps in current regulation, especially with respect to crypto assets.

Overall, the regime review that has taken place (which consisted of many different elements including the consultation on amendments to MLRs and two post-implementation reviews of the MLRs and Oversight of Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Supervision Regulations 2017) concluded that there was no wholesale overhaul of the system required in the UK. Instead, the government's approach is likely to be on the basis of incremental improvements and finding solutions to specific problems and gaps in the current structures.
