Registration with HMRC under MLR

[stbs]

Is there any way to find out if an accountant has registered with HMRC in accordance with Money Laundering Regulations.

Most accountants won't be registered directly with HMRC, they will be registered through their professional body. You could always ask the accountant who their registration is with!

I should have thought the DPA would prevent this for being public

Thanks for your replies.

I am informed that the person in question has allowed membership of their professional body to lapse, and I suspect they have not registered with HMRC, hence my question.

Problem is that HMRC / any other ML registration is no policed.

So not really a fat lot you can do about it

Plus IMHO is it ethical for you to grass them up :|
