This Practice Note explains counter-proliferation financing (CPF). It sets out regulatory requirements and discusses the associated risks relating to proliferation financing. It is aimed at businesses caught by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017), SI 2017/692—see Practice Note: Money Laundering Regulations 2017—scope and application, or for law firms Money Laundering Regulations 2017—scope and application—law firms.

Crime analysis: Could the judicial review into the use of counter terrorism powers lead to a more robust police complaints process? Daniel Clarke of 1 Pump Court and Kate Goold of Bindmans examine the fallout from the scrutiny of the use of powers contained in the Terrorism Act 2000, Sch 7 (TA 2000).

This Practice Note outlines counter-terrorist financing provisions (CTF), including the offences and obligations contained in the Terrorism Act 2000 (TA 2000) and related legislation. It sets out what terrorist financing is, how it relates to the anti-money laundering (AML) regime and why it is important for businesses. What is terrorist financing? Terrorists need funds to plan and carry out attacks. The TA 2000 criminalises both the participation in terrorist activities and terrorist financing. In general terms, terrorist financing is the provision or collection of funds from legitimate or illegitimate sources with the intention or in the knowledge that they should be used to carry out any act of terrorism, whether or not those funds are in fact used for that purpose. Counter-terrorist financing and anti-money laundering CTF and AML are different concepts, albeit with similar aims. The CTF and AML regimes run together in UK legislation. Many of the provisions of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002) and the TA 2000 closely mirror one another and the definitions in each are deliberately
