answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The EU’s Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive requires Member States to ensure that companies in their jurisdictions obtain and hold information on their beneficial owners. The UK’s register of company beneficial owners, the People with Significant Control register, went live in June 2016, and UK companies have been required to obtain, hold and provide to Companies House their beneficial ownership information. The UK’s anti-money laundering regime is currently being evaluated by the Financial Action Task Force, which will report in due course. Following this evaluation, the Government will actively consider areas where the anti-money laundering framework can be improved. The Government will look in particular at controls over who registers companies in the UK, what information they have to provide, and how assurance is provided over that information.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 16/10/2018 16:24:49 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>Individuals setting up a company must provide information on who ultimately owns and controls the company and keep this information up to date, in line with the requirements of the People with Significant Control register. It can assist law enforcement in their investigations of alleged criminal behaviour, including money laundering. Companies House carries out a number of checks on all information received, ensuring it is valid, complete, and in compliance with company filing requirements. When it detects or receives intelligence relating to suspicious actions, including possible money laundering, Companies House will report the information to the relevant enforcement body. The UK’s anti-money laundering regime is currently being evaluated by the Financial Action Task Force, which will report in due course. Following this evaluation, the Government will consider areas where the anti-money laundering framework can be improved.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 16/10/2018 16:24:56 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
