UK: HM Treasury consults on the anti-money laundering supervisory regime

HM Treasury has published a consultation paper concerning the creation of the new Office for Professional Body AML Supervision (OPBAS): see here. Draft Regulations have also been published: see here (pdf). HM Treasury would like to know, in particular, whether respondents believe that the Regulations are drafted so as to permit OPBAS to help (and ensure) professional body AML supervisors comply with their obligations; views are also sought on the likely impact of OPBAS on business.
