Tulip Siddiq – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2016-05-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individuals working for which organisations have received clearance to directly access the database of Suspicious Activity Reports in each year since 2009-10.
Mr John Hayes
The end user organisations (police forces, multi agency teams and other agencies) that have ‘direct’ access to suspicious activity reports (SARs) are listed in the SARs Annual Reports, which are available on the NCA website. They are summarised in the table below.

All individuals outside of the NCA who have ‘direct’ access to SARs are accredited by the NCA Proceeds of Crime Centre as being Financial Investigators, Financial Intelligence Officers or Financial Intelligence Administrators in line with the end user agreements in place with each organisation. Not all those individuals that have accreditation have ‘direct’ access to SARs. It is not possible, without further significant analysis, to determine the number of individuals who over time have had such access to the SARs System.
