Nominated Officer

28th February 2019

Nominated Officers - PQ Portal

The Commission has ceased to require notice of any changes to a firm’s Nominated Officers from today.

Any person who has taken up a Nominated Officer appointment or ceased to hold such an appointment from 28 February 2019 is no longer required to complete an Online PQ or an Online Appointment.  However, firms are reminded that they must continue to inform the Financial Intelligence Service within 14 days of any change of Nominated Officer.

This change has been made in preparation for the effective date of the revisions to the Bailiwick’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism regime which come into effect on 31 March 2019 and which require no notice of these appointments to the Commission.

All existing, active Nominated Officer appointments recorded on the Commission's PQ Portal will be deactivated shortly.

Should you have any questions in respect of the above, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Commission's PQ Portal Helpdesk via e-mail to [email protected].
