Report suspicious transactions

One of the goals of the brochure is to help firms that are under supervision to better understand the regulation and offer them concrete guidance on how to comply with the requirements to report suspicious money laundering and terrorism financing. Another is to increase both the quality but also the number of suspicious transaction reports so that the Swedish financial intelligence unit can investigate more cases.

The governmental authorities that are representatives of the Coordination Supervisory Body collaborated on producing both the brochure and the videos. These authorities will also be distributing the brochure to all of the supervised entities and firms under their supervision, in total around 18,000.

The need for greater knowledge about the requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering regulations has been raised, for example, in the national risk assessments regarding money laundering and terrorism financing and in the national strategy to effectively combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Over the past year, the Coordination Supervisory Body has focused on raising the low reporting occurrences of suspected transactions in many sectors as well as the quality of the reports that are submitted. The brochure and its guidelines, which contain risk factors and hypothetical scenarios in picture format of different types of criminal activity, were developed as a part of the Coordination Supervisory Body's work.
