Suspicious Activity Report

Section 1 - Involved Party Details

Guidance on completing this first section:

If the case requires urgent attention or you require advice, please speak to Harriet Wignall-Parry, Nominated Officer (on behalf of MLRO, Lee Murphy) as soon as possible.

Please complete with all known details; where details are not known, please state.

If you are reporting a case that relates to a transaction (for example, a transfer of funds or property) that is yet to happen and you suspect that the funds/property being transferred represent the proceeds of crime, speak with Harriet Wignall-Parry, Nominated Officer (on behalf of MLRO, Lee Murphy) immediately. In these situations we may be required to raise a consent/Defence Against Money Laundering (DAML) suspicious activity report (SAR) with the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Section 2 - Reason for Suspicion

Guidance on completing this second section

Provide a summary to explain your suspicion and then provide a chronological sequence of events. Try to keep the content clear, concise and simple. For example, explain how you became aware of the situation, describe the events, activities and/or transactions that led you to be suspicious, and how and why you became suspicious because of these. To help when completing this section, the following has taken from The National Crime Agency (NCA) guidance: As a guide when submitting a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), wherever you can, try to answer the following six basic questions to make the information provided as useful as possible:

  • Who?
  • What?
  • Where?
  • When?
  • Why?
  • How?

Remember to include:

  • the date of activity
  • the type of product or service
  • how the activity will, or has, taken place when documenting the reason for suspicion.

If you are suspicious because the activity deviates from the normal activity for that individual/firm, briefly explain how the activity that gave rise to your suspicion differs from the normal. TIP/REMINDER Have you clearly described the suspicion? This report will be read by a third party and potentially forms a basis of a report to Law

Section 3 - Supporting Documentation

Attach supporting documentation that is relevant for the case. For example, this may include copies of correspondence, customer files or information that you have obtained on the matter.

*Please note, there is a file upload size limit. If you need to upload more / larger files please contact natasha.mcevilly@theaccountancy.co.uk
