Recommendation
The Government should create a power for the Electoral Commission to compel financial institutions to provide information relating to the source funds used in regulated political donations and regulated campaign spending. This power should also apply to crypto currency platforms. This power should be deployable where the Electoral Commission has reasonable grounds to suspect there is a risk of impermissible activity, including outside the context of a live formal investigation. (Recommendation, Paragraph 115)
