The National Crime Agency (NCA) has published revised guidance on how to submit better quality suspicious activity reports (SARs). The guidance includes instructions on online reporting via the NCA portal, guidance on how to structure a SAR, specialist guidance on defence against money laundering (DAML), and some useful good practice tips and examples. It is unlikely the guidance will provide many surprises for experienced MLROs. However, its publication perhaps indicates that the NCA has concerns about the quality and detail provided in some SARs, and the guidance will be useful in helping to get a swift response from the NCA.
