724 Words3 Pages

Section 330 and 331 of the PoCA imposes an obligation on persons in the regulated sector to report any knowledge or suspicion or any reasonable grounds, for knowing or suspecting an offense of money laundering has been committed. Section 330 deals with reporting by a person employed within the regulated sector and Sec 331 deals with reporting by a nominated officer.

Therefore the obligation to report is triggered only if the employee in the regulated sector had such information available to them in the course of business. The condition was brought in to reduce the number of reports that were filed that did not provide enough information about the person committing the laundering act, or his/her whereabouts and the property that was
