Written by Insight & Partnership Team | Apr 17, 2024 1:39:00 PM

The cross-party parliamentary group which includes regulators and industry members presents four principles for pragmatic reform to ‘clean’ the UK financial sector:

  • Transparency: Identify company, trust, and asset to allow law enforcement and members of the public alike to ‘follow the money’;
  • Regulation: Implement pragmatic regulations to deter professionals from facilitating economic crime and hold those who do engage in malpractice accountable;
  • Enforcement: Bolster the capabilities and resources of enforcement agencies to ensure consistent enforcement; and
  • Accountability: Ensure that parliament and the public are able to hold the Government to account by implementing transparency measures to guard against political corruption.
