The UK Joint Money Laundering Steering Group has launched a short consultation on minor changes to Part II of its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing guidance in relation to two sectors, namely asset finance and syndicated lending.
In the press release announcing the draft revised guidance, the JMLSG clarifies that the revisions do not make substantive changes to the existing guidance. Instead, the proposals provide clarification on the workings of these two sectors, how to identify customers and how risks should be assessed.
The JMLSG invites comments on the proposed revisions by March 30, 2018.
