The team/department

OPBAS (Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering) was formed in February 2018 as part of the UK's response to the threat of money laundering.

Previous UK National Risk Assessments identified the legal and accountancy sectors as being particularly vulnerable to facilitating organised crime due to the credibility and respectability those sectors convey.

OPBAS's objectives are to reduce the harm of money laundering (and terrorist financing) by ensuring a robust and consistently high standard of professional body AML/CTF (counter-terrorist financing) supervision, and to facilitate information and intelligence sharing between professional body supervisors (PBSs), statutory supervisors, and law enforcement agencies.

Lead or support relationships with Professional Body Supervisors including, with appropriate support, planning and running supervisory visits, analysing findings and making judgements about the effectiveness of their AML supervision
Support other members of the team, including through participating in PBS visits and proactive engagement
Clearly and credibly explain expectations to legal and accountancy supervisors
Critically assess and evaluate information to form judgements about progress against AML and TF standards
Build and maintain good relationships with internal and external stakeholders
The role will include opportunities to get involved with other areas of the department's work where capacity permits, for example policy development
