The aim of the EC-S handbook is to give you clear and comprehensive guidance on how to undertake your role within EC-S. It will help you understand the legislation, how our policies work and how they should be applied. It will also explain how to apply the sanctions framework and the powers available for you to use under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Finacing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017). Additionally, it may be used by external customers to understand how sanctions are applied.
