Description

His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is the UK's tax, payments and customs authority and collects the money that pays for the UK's public services and helps families and individuals with targeted financial support. FIS is responsible for the department's civil and criminal investigations into the most serious fraud, money laundering, and wrongdoing, working to protect funding for UK public services, investigate the most harmful tax frauds and criminals, and ensure that none are beyond our reach. While traditional money laundering methods are still favoured by criminals, technology is transforming the financial services landscape. With the growth of the digital economy, money launderers are looking to exploit these new technologies due to their increasing prominence, their relative ease of use, and most importantly the consistent lack of transparency.
