• The ECCT Act 2023 introduces many new powers such as annotation, expedited strike off and removal that will help us disrupt criminals who use companies for illicit activity.
• The AML space will involve enforcement activity around beneficial ownership, People with Significant Control (PSC), the Register of Overseas Entities and Authorised Company Service Providers (ACSP).

For all roles, the key responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing the delivery of a range of projects and report progress to the Service Owner and the various governance boards.
