ℹAbout this data
Source: Open data published by the Isle of Man Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).
What are SARs? Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), also known as Disclosure Reports (DISCs), are submitted by regulated entities when they suspect money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crime.
Legal framework: The primary legislation includes the Proceeds of Crime Act 2008 (POCA), the Anti-Terrorism and Crime Act 2003 (ATCA), and the Criminal Justice Act 1990. Regulated sectors — banking, insurance, legal, accounting, gambling — are required to file SARs with the FIU.
Caveats: A SAR does not indicate that a crime has been committed. Volumes reflect reporting activity, not actual crime rates. Outcome categories and criminality classifications may vary between years.
