SOCA: The first Annual Report on the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regime highlights substantial progress since Sir Stephen Lander's review of the regime of March 2006. The regime is a central plank in the UK's efforts against money laundering & terrorist financing and the publication of an annual report to Ministers on its operation was a recommendation of Sir Stephen's review.
The key planned mechanism for delivering future improvements in the regime will be the SARs Transformation Project. This will bring significant change to the technology underlying SARs and the surrounding business processes in the medium term, through IT enabled business change.
