Financial Flows Return (Form 153) Template

Summary

This is a blank template of Form 153, the Financial Flows Return issued by the GFSC's Financial Crime Division. It shows the full set of questions that can appear on the return, though the live form only displays questions that are conditionally relevant based on earlier answers.

• Purpose: Provides the standard question set used to collect financial crime risk data on financial flows from firms on a periodic basis.
• Reporting periods: The return is structured around four quarterly periods: 1 January to 31 March, 1 April to 30 June, 1 July to 30 September, and 1 October to 31 December.
• Scope of content: The template includes an accompanying Financial Flows Statistics Spreadsheet, though the specific questions and data fields are not rendered as extractable text in this version.

The extracted text does not include the substantive question content, submission deadlines, or the population of firms required to file this return; that detail would be found in an accompanying notice or guidance from the Financial Crime Division rather than in this template itself.
