| Before registering on this site you should consider the following:
In order to register you must possess a working email account to
which you have access. This email address will be your SAR Online user id and
can therefore only be used once, i.e. no two users can use the same email
address. The system is designed so that any New User Registration requires the
user to 'Register' the details of the Reporting Entity they represent. To ensure
that these details are accurate it is recommended that the registering
user be an official responsible for the AML compliance within the organisation,
such as the MLRO, Nominated officer or similar.
The details of the reporting entity which are captured within the 'Registration'
process include key contact details. This important information will enable the
UKFIU to:
-
Ascertain the bona fides of any registration and;
-
Correctly apportion all SARs subsequently submitted by that user (or group of
users) to the correct entity.
Once the registration is Activated (details below) the new user
will be able to Nominate their colleagues (details below). The
'accounts' of all and any subsequent users nominated in this manner will ensure
that they are contained within the same reporting entity within SAR Online and
will negate the need for each of the added colleagues to replicate the
Registration process.
Failure to adhere to this process will result in the same
reporting entity being registered more than once (under separate but similar
ID's) on SAR Online which will mean that each Registered user from the same
entity will be unable to access and share their SARs with their colleagues.
Corporate Groups
Where you, as a user, represent a number of Corporate organisations under a
larger Group, you will have to decide in which way you would like to construct
your SAR Online User groupings. You have the choice of two structures:
-
You can choose to register only one of the corporate entities onto SAR Online.
You can then add all the users for all the groups under this one entity. You
can then identify each SAR as being from any of the smaller organisations
within your larger corporate group through the use of the Branch/Office/Outlet
fields on each SAR header. This would permit you to see all of your groups SARs
under one User ID. However, all shared SARs will be visible to other groups - a
situation you may wish to avoid.
-
Alternatively, if you possess a unique email address for each organisation, you
could register each group separately on SAR Online. You would then be
able to select which of your colleagues you would add to each entity as SAR
Online users. This would mean however that you would need to maintain a number
of User ID's and have to Log in to each one to see the SARs held for the Group
each User ID represents.
