Businesses are now able to quickly and easily identify people and entities to have been sanctioned under the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018. The UK Sanctions List can now be searched online, supporting companies with their process for conducting due diligence.
Via the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, HMRC introduced the search function to avoid users having to downloading the list in its entirety. The work forms part of the department’s efforts to improve the UK’s sanctions infrastructure and support compliance.
Members can access the UK Sanctions List online, with the search function via a corresponding webpage.
