Assets Recovery Agency

The Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act empowers the Director General, Financial Reporting Centre to send reports received under the Act to the appropriate law enforcement authorities, any intelligence agency, or any other appropriate supervisory body for further handling if, having considered the report, the Director General has reasonable grounds to suspect that the transaction is suspicious.

The Financial Reporting Centre shares intelligence with the Assets Recovery Agency, which is created by the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act as a semi-autonomous body under the office of the Attorney-General.
