star this property answer text <p>The 4<sup>th</sup> EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive transposes the global standards on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2012. These standards further embed the risk-based approach, which allow obliged entities, including companies, to adopt anti-money laundering checks which are best suited to the risk they face in their everyday business. This allows for more proportionate and balanced anti-money laundering regimes across the EU including in the UK.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Directive is currently in its last stage of negotiations. The UK government is committed to publishing an impact assessment and to consulting on the implementation of the Directive before transposing its new requirements into UK legislation, in line with better regulation principles. This timing is necessary to ensure that any Impact Assessment accurately reflects any changes to the draft legislation agreed in negotiations.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>This Government has taken a number of major steps to strengthen monitoring and regulation of the banking sector.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Financial Services Act 2012 put in place two new, properly focussed financial regulators, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) - a subsidiary of the Bank of England - the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as part of a new approach to financial regulation. The new regulators started work on 1 April 2013.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government’s new approach to financial regulation enables the PRA to concentrate on monitoring the health of UK banks to ensure that they are prudently and competently managed and to reduce the risk that the practices of UK banks will lead to serious financial failure. At the same time, the FCA can concentrate on monitoring the practices of UK banks and other financial services businesses in their dealing with ordinary retail customers and in wholesale financial markets, to reduce the risk that the practices in the banking sector are detrimental to consumers or competition, or threaten the integrity of financial markets.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On 12 June 2014, the Government announced the Fair and Effective Markets Review, which is a joint review by HM Treasury, the Bank of England, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) into the way wholesale financial markets operate. The Government is determined to take action to help restore trust and integrity and to ensure that the highest standards are expected of those who operate in these markets. It is important that this is done in a way that preserves the UK’s position as the global financial centre for many of these markets. The Review published its consultation document “How fair and effective are the fixed income, foreign exchange and commodities markets?” on 27 October, and the Government looks forward to the review’s final recommendations in June 2015.</p><p> </p>
