FAQs

Here's some commonly asked questions:

What is the criminal finances act 2017?

The Criminal Finances Act 2017 is UK legislation that amends the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, designed to address unexplained wealth, money laundering and tax evasion among other illicit financial activities. Key aspects of the act include:

Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs): UWO’s allow authorities to investigate unexplained sources of wealth if there appear to be discrepancies with their known income or assets.

Money Laundering: This updated legislation enhances the authorities’ powers relating to money laundering, allowing for longer and more thorough investigations.

Civil Recovery: The Criminal Finances Act 2017 defines “unlawful conduct” related to human rights violations or abuses, while allowing authorities greater power in being able to seize assets gained through such conduct.

Enforcement Powers: The Act allows for greater enforcement powers for agencies like the Serious Fraud Office, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, and the Financial Conduct Authority.

Corporate Offenses: Crucially, under the act, businesses who fail to prevent their employees engaging in illicit financial activities can be held accountable, making it more important than ever to provide the correct criminal finances act training to all employees.
