SAR

Please see the following Appendix to this set of FAQs which includes the NCA November 2017 signpost to SAR guidance and notes prepared for the Accountancy Sector to assist with the completion of an SAR form.

The notes have been prepared by a MLRO in a large accountancy firm. When completing the report you should note 'no information' where you are not able to complete that section.

How do I make a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR)?

In order to make a SAR you need to register with the National Crime Agency. 

It is a good idea to register even if you are not currently considering making a SAR. This ensures you are ready if a SAR ever needs to be made and there is additional guidance available on AML-related issues.
