Cross-System Professional Enablers Strategy published in UK

The Cross-System Professional Enablers Strategy for 2024-26 was published in the UK.
Published by the National Crime Agency, National Economic Crime Centre, and the Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision, the strategy is designed to reduce the financial crime threat posed by ‘professional enablers’ including lawyers and accountants.

The strategy is driven by six objectives:

  • Create an enhanced sectoral level understanding of the threat;
  • Ensure quality information is shared between law enforcement and supervisors;
  • Strengthen and co-ordinate the capabilities of the whole system;
  • Prevent enabling activity through supervision;
  • Achieve long-lasting disruptive impact against the threat; and
  • Be a world-leader on the response to professional enablers.

Firms in sectors who may be impacted by professional enablers, including banks, accountants, estate agents, and money service businesses should review the strategy as part of staying informed on national strategies which may have operational implications.
