We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We On Facilities Management Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 On Facilities Management Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Reservists
- Discounts
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

ECSH33390 - Requirement to cease transactions
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-25)


If a business is unable to complete its customer due diligence (CDD) measures, it must not establish a business relationship or carry out a transaction with the customer and must terminate any existing business relationship, see ECSH33311 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33311). It must also consider whether a suspicious activity report (SAR) should be raised.

You should ask the business if it has raised any SARs in relation to this or if it recalls any transactions which were not completed. You should review any internal SARs or records relating to the customer/cancelled transaction.

You may be able to locate transactions marked as cancelled within transactional data and discuss the reasons for this with the business. You will need to understand why this occurred and what actions the business took to decide if there is a breach of regulation 31 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/692/regulation/31) of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017).

Make sure you add this to your aide memoire or topic plan (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32940). If the transaction was being carried out as part of a business relationship, you must check whether any further transactions were carried out. You can evidence this by searching transactional data and any other supporting records (such as bank statements) from the date of termination onwards.

If payment had already been received from the customer, confirm how they were refunded. For example, if the transaction was in cash, you should ask if the cash was returned to the customer. If it had already been banked, was the refund made by bank transfer? Explain to the business that if it was refunded differently to how it was paid, it could provide legitimate source of funds which is a risk of money laundering or terrorist financing (ML/TF).

Breaches

Where you establish that the business has not ceased a transaction where it should have, you should tell the business that there is a breach of regulation 31 MLR 2017, and it must terminate the business relationship immediately.

Case study

You are conducting a check on an art market participant (AMP). For one of the transactions you are testing, the business advises you that it requested ID documents to verify the identity of individuals which the customer did not provide; the business carried out the transaction irrespective of this. A review of the bank statements shows that the transaction was completed by bank transfer.

You consider there is a breach of regulation 31(1)(a) MLR 2017 and advise the business it should not have continued with the transaction, even if it considered there was a low risk of ML/TF and should retrospectively consider submitting a SAR, see ECSH33600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33600).

CTM03740 - Corporation Tax: small profits relief: associated companies - attribution of rights and powers of nominees
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-20)


The rights and powers of a person's nominee are always attributed to that person. This means any rights or powers which another person possesses or may be required to exercise on the direction or on behalf of that person (CTA10/S451 (3)). This rule contrasts with the rule applying to the attribution of the rights and powers of associates under CTA10/S451 (4) - see CTM03750 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm03750).

Thus nominees are always looked through to the beneficial owners when determining control. This does not, however, mean that a nominee is not a participator in a company by reason of legally holding shares in it.

For the meaning of participator see CTM60107 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm60107).

This consultation took place under the Pall Mall Process, an international and multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop joint solutions to address this shared threat.

Led by the governments of the UK and France, a coalition of states, businesses and civil society came together in February 2024 to discuss the issue. They published the ‘Pall Mall Declaration’ (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-pall-mall-process-declaration-tackling-the-proliferation-and-irresponsible-use-of-commercial-cyber-intrusion-capabilities/the-pall-mall-process-tackling-the-proliferation-and-irresponsible-use-of-commercial-cyber-intrusion-capabilities), also available in French: Processus de Pall Mall (https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/politique-etrangere-de-la-france/securite-desarmement-et-non-proliferation/actualites-et-evenements-lies-a-la-securite-au-desarmement-et-a-la-non/2024/article/processus-de-pall-mall-lutter-contre-la-proliferation-et-l-usage-irresponsable).

Through this consultation, we invited stakeholders to share views on good practice relating to commercial cyber intrusion capabilities (CCICs) across 3 stakeholder groups:

states: as regulators and potential customers of the market for CCICs

industry organisations: involved in and around the market for CCICs, alongside their wider value chain

civil society, experts, and threats researchers : with relevant expertise on the threat presented by the market for CCICs, and responses to it

The consultation closed on 11 October 2024.

The responses have been collated into a summary report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-pall-mall-process-consultation-on-good-practices-summary-report).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Expeditus Consulting Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Expeditus Consulting Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
