The OFT has revised its AML/CFT Guidance Notes for:

1. Real Estate Agents & Letting Agents; and
2. High Value Goods Dealers. 

The updated Guidance Notes are available from our website and now cover the following in more detail:

1. Guidance regarding which parties to a transaction REAs need to carry out Customer Due diligence measures (REA Guidance Notes, Section 6.4);
2. Updated guidance about source of funds and source of wealth (section 6.13/14); and
3. Various references to Targeted Financial Sanctions including a new Section 8 dedicates to REAs’ sanctions obligations.

We hope that these updates will be useful to the OFT's regulateed entities and assit them to eet their AML/CFT obligations.

The OFT also wished to remind its Regualted Entites that there are also numerous other useful Guidnce Notes and documents on the OFT's website: https://www.oft.gov.gi/documents/aml-cft
