Summary of proposed key changes:

  • All Supervised Persons [including Sch2 businesses eg estate agents, accountants and lawyers) must comply with the Revised OSP in accordance with the new consolidated AML/CFT Handbook
  • Where a Service Provider performs outsourced activity in the form of telecommunication services on behalf of a business, such outsourced activity is not caught
  • Specific guidance is provided where a service provider performs outsourced activity in the form of Cloud Services
  • Managed Trust Company Business is now exempt from the application of the Revised OSP

Who will the Revised OSP impact?

  • The Revised OSP will impact any person to whom the provisions of the Revised OSP apply. The requirement for all Supervised Persons to comply with the Revised OSP represents a change of policy insofar as only regulated persons carrying on regulated business have had to comply with the current OSP and Guidance Notes to date.

Next steps

  • Close Wednesday 31 August 2022.
  • Following the JFSC consultation, we will publish feedback and issue a final form Revised OSP in October.
