Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Internal reporting procedures maintained by a person are in accordance with this regulation if they include provision—

(a)

identifying a person (“the appropriate person”) to whom a report is to be made of any information or other matter which comes to the attention of a person handling relevant financial business and which, in the opinion of the person handling that business, gives rise to a knowledge or suspicion that another person is engaged in money laundering;

(b)

requiring that any such report be considered in the light of all other relevant information by the appropriate person, or by another designated person, for the purpose of determining whether or not the information or other matter contained in the report does give rise to such a knowledge or suspicion;

(c)

for any person charged with considering a report in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) above to have reasonable access to other information which may be of assistance to him and which is available to the person responsible for maintaining the internal reporting procedures concerned; and

(d)

for securing that the information or other matter contained in a report is disclosed to a constable where the person who has considered the report under the procedures maintained in accordance with the preceding provisions of this regulation knows or suspects that another person is engaged in money laundering.
