Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs Agency (HMRC) performed a surprise inspection to 50 government agencies in the UK to verify the level of compliance with anti money laundering laws and regulations.
The investigations included interviews to define if the AML Rules and Regulations were not applied by the agencies in question as part of an enforcement action within government agencies.
This is part of the zero tolerance for money laundering policy of the UK including the evidence that no person (public or private is adobe the lay in the UK.
