How To: Complete a Suspicious Activity Report

Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) must be submitted by an organisation or individual who knows or suspects that another party is engaged in money laundering. Submitting a SAR provides valuable information to law enforcement teams about potential criminality and allows investigators to join the dots on existing criminal activity or identify new sources of criminal behaviour.

A Defence Against Money Laundering SAR (DAML SAR) may also be required if you have a suspicion that property you intend to deal with is in some way criminal property and that by dealing with it, you risk committing an offence. How do you protect yourself in that situation?

In this webinar we will look at the reporting requirements and the information sharing aspect of the SARs regime, and where to find the SAR online portal.  We will consider the information required to complete the SAR, what you should present and why. Practical hints and tips will be provided throughout the session.

This One Hour Session is designed to clarify your reporting requirements and streamline your internal process and procedures.
