Notice is given, pursuant to sections 145 and 146(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009, that the Commissioner of Police intends to issue guidelines to apply to all reporting entities for the reporting of suspicious activity to the Financial Intelligence Unit. These guidelines would replace the Suspicious Transaction Guideline 2013 which can be viewed at http://www.police.govt.nz/sites/default/files/publications/fiu-guidelines-reporting-suspicious-transactions.pdf.

The Commissioner invites reporting entities that are likely to be affected by the proposed guidelines, and industry organisations that are representative of those reporting entities to express their interest in being consulted in the course of the development of the guidelines. The Commissioner will consult with and invite representations from those reporting entities and industry organisations who express such an interest.

Expressions of interest should be sent to FIU@Police.govt.nz before Friday 6 April 2018.
