Job summary:

HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) is responsible for the department's civil and criminal investigations. FIS ensures that HMRC has an effective approach to tackling the most serious tax evasion and fraud.

FIS is home to a wide range of people with a variety of skills and professional backgrounds - including accountants, cybercrime specialists, criminal justice professionals, tax & insolvency professionals and operational delivery support teams to name a few.

Economic Crime undermines the integrity and stability of the global economy, denies funding to critical public services and destroys lives.

Criminals often seek to use legitimate channels to launder the proceeds of crime, directly enabling the trafficking of people and drugs, illegal sale of arms and the funding of terrorism.

HMRC plays a significant role in tackling the threat posed by economic crime - as a tax authority, a law enforcement agency and as a supervisor under the Money Laundering Regulations.

Economic Crime Supervision (ECS) involves the regulatory supervision and enforcement of legislation designed to reduce the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing.

The ECS team of almost 400 specialist staff supports those businesses that want to do the right thing, educating them on the impact of money laundering and terrorist financing, the risks they face, and the consequences of not taking action.

We safeguard sectors by preventing criminals and unfit persons from obtaining roles in businesses we supervise, and by pursuing those businesses that should be registered for supervision but aren't.

We respond robustly when businesses do not properly manage money laundering risks and when they fail to implement the Money Laundering Regulations.

We use the full range of HMRC sanctions, including civil measures and, where appropriate, criminal prosecutions.

Job description:

Develop risk‐based packages based on intelligence referrals for delivery to ECS teams to carry out appropriate interventions.
Analyse a range of sensitive data, using a variety of systems to collate data of businesses and individuals.
Identify, analyse and assess Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing (MLTF) risks to HMRC, using HMRC, third party and Open Source systems, providing a clear picture of risks posed for EC Supervision's most complex cases.
Keep up to date with policies, procedures, guidance, and changes to legislation which affect HMRC's antimoney laundering supervisory regime, and how HMRC deals with incoming requests and intelligence.
Record statistical data, as appropriate, for both management information purposes and support ECS managers to deliver on priorities, particularly where these may change at short notice.
Actively participate in team meetings, sensitive case reviews and ECS Risk Team discussions, and support other lines of business, as and when required.
Obtain and share relevant information with ECS colleagues, ensuring adherence with all GDPR, disclosure requirements, Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act and legal gateways.
Liaise with a wide range of Professional Bodies and other government departments/Law Enforcement Agencies to obtain and share relevant information, ensuring adherence with all GDPR, disclosure requirements, Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act and legal gateways.
