Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision

UK - Financial Conduct Authority.

(OPBAS).

The Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision is the regulator set up by the UK government in 2018 to strengthen the UK’s anti-money laundering (AML) supervisory regime and ensure the professional body AML supervisors provide consistently high standards of AML supervision.

OPBAS aims to improve consistency of professional body AML supervision in the accountancy and legal sectors, but does not directly supervise legal and accountancy firms.
