Dear New Zealand Police,

This request is a spiritual successor to IR-01-25-11568 which was filed almost a year ago.

I had asked the Ombudsman to request the response as there was an inconsistency around previous SAR/PTR data being released in regards to one specific named entity.

As part of the response, the Ombudsman mentioned that the FIU "is happy to provide you with anonymised SAR and PTR data" which is an offer that I'm here to take up.

As such, I would be interested in a table containing an anonymised count of (Suspicious Activity Reports) and PTRs (Prescribed Transaction Reports) received for the past 3 years.

Specifically, it would be nice to have this broken down by the number of reporting banks, with their details anonymised. I'm mainly curious around whether SARs/PTRs are reported evenly.

This would also presumably exclude those banks that are part of the Designated Business Group as mentioned on Page 36 of the FIU's New Zealand National Risk Assessment 2024.

Please let me know if you need to make any further adjustments given the sensitive of the information.

Yours faithfully,

Marcus
