IoM Publishes Anti-Money Laundering Handbook

by Carla Johnson, Investors Offshore.com, London

24 July 2008

The Isle of Man's Financial Supervision Commission earlier this month announced the publication of its Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Handbook, with the exception of Section 9.

Section 9 of the AML/CFT Handbook will comprise sector specific guidance which will be drafted in due course with further industry consultation.

The AML/CFT Handbook has been drafted to provide guidance for the Commission’s licenceholders on the requirements of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering) Code 2007, and the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism provisions in Part 9 of the Financial Services Rule Book 2008.

The Financial Supervision Commission concluded by announcing that this new AML/CFT Handbook will come into effect on 1st August 2008 to correspond with the coming into effect of Part 9 of the Financial Services Rule Book, and will replace the Money Laundering and Prevention of Terrorism Guidance Notes (April 2003) as amended on that date.

The full text of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Handbook can be found in the Tax News Resources section.
