Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Amendment Bill.
This Supplementary Order Paper—
amends clauses 4, 6, 13, 36, 41, 42, 49, and 52A and Schedules 1 and 2 to replace redundant references to
“suspicious transactions”
with“suspicious activities”
and to make other corrections of an editorial nature:amends clause 5 to provide that lawyers and accountants in sole practice are reporting entities but that in the case of 2 or more lawyers or accountants, as the case requires, practising in partnership, the reporting entity is the partnership itself:
amends clause 5 to remove a definition of law enforcement purposes that is already in the Act and that is inconsistent with a new definition of that term that is being inserted:
inserts new clause 7 into Schedule 1 of the principal Act (which deals with transitional, savings, and related provisions) to clarify that Phase 2 reporting entities may apply for, and may be granted, exemptions under the Act before the Act applies to those entities.
