answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>Suspicious activity reports (SARs) are submitted under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 or the Terrorism Act 2000 as a result of suspicion formed by the reporting sector. The SARs are then disseminated by the Financial Intelligence <br>Unit to end users who have direct access via a secure computer portal appropriate for the confidentiality of the data. This direct access then allows end users to use SARs for a variety of investigative and intelligence purposes. <br>No central record is held relating to the ultimate use of SARs data by these end users and therefore no data is available relating to how many investigations or enforcement actions may have resulted from SARs. A report providing an assessment of the operation of the SARs regime is published annually on the NCA website, the link is below: <a href="http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/publications/suspicious-activity-reports-sars/94-sars-annual-report-2013" target="_blank">http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/publications/suspicious-activity-reports-sars/94-sars-annual-report-2013</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 04/12/2014 09:30:18 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 31172 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
