The House of Commons Treasury Committee has begun an inquiry exploring certain aspects of economic crime: see here. More specifically, there two broad areas for examination have been identified: (1) anti-money laundering and sanctions (including, for example, the scale of money laundering and the impact of the regulatory regime); (2) consumers and economic crime (including, for example, the effectiveness of financial institutions in combating economic crime and the security of consumer data).
