Anti Money Laundering Legislation
All accountants must comply with the onerous duties imposed by the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000 and the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (the “Anti Money Laundering Legislation”), which are intended to inhibit the activities of terrorists and other criminals by denying them access to technical expertise. If we fail to perform these duties we risk imprisonment. Before taking on any client we must obtain satisfactory evidence of identity.
We assume that our clients are honest and law abiding. However, if at any time there appears to be ground to suspect (even if we do not actually suspect) that your affairs relate to ‘criminal property’ we are obliged to make a report to the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), but we are prohibited from telling you that we have done so.
‘Criminal property’ is property in any legal form, whether money, real property, rights or any benefit derived from criminal activity. It does not matter who carried out the criminal activity or how removed the property is from the original crime. Even if you are honest in your dealings, if your property represents a benefit from someone elese’s crime, we must still make a report.
Activity is considered ‘criminal’ if it is a crime under UK law, no matter how trivial. For example, tax evasion is a criminal offence but an honest mistake is not. We will assume that all discrepancies are mistakes unless there is contrary evidence.
We will not be liable for any loss suffered by you or any third party as a result of our compliance with the Anti Money Laundering Legislation or any UK law or at all.
