	<description><![CDATA[
			<div class="generic-content field--name-body">
			<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>On Friday, the Commission published amendments to the Financial Crime Returns Rules (“the FC Returns Rules”) to take account of the revision to the previously named ‘Financial Crime Risk – Intermediary Annual Return’ (“Form 152”), now named ‘Financial Crime Risk – Investment Vehicles Return’.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The revision of Form 152 has been conducted in collaboration with the fund administration sector and separate communication has been issued to affected parties (i.e. designated administrators) regarding the changes.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The amendments to the FC Returns Rules do not affect any other financial crime related return and solely &nbsp;reflect the change in name, content, reporting period, and submission deadline of Form 152.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The legislation can be found on the Commission’s&nbsp;</span></span></span><span><a href="https://www.gfsc.gg/commission/legislation-and-guidance"><span><span><span>legislation and guidance page</span></span></span></a></span><span><span><span> or through this <a href="https://www.gfsc.gg/sites/default/files/media/helix-file/Financial%20Crime%20Returns%20Rules%202026.pdf">link</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
