Norwegian term or phrase: opplysningspliktig

The term is from the Norwegian Tax Administration Act and Regulations, and I am not sure how best to translate it. The translation of the Anti-Money Laundering Act uses 'obliged entity' for 'rapporteringspliktig', but as this term also appears in the document I am translating, I think I want a different term? I was wondering about 'disclosing entity'. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly received.

Notes to answerer

Asker: The problem is, though, that the term always refers to an entity subject a specific reporting/disclosure requirement, and I cannot each time (and the Norwegian does not), refer to what these requirements are, if that makes sense. The Act/Regulations says X type of organisation are subject to a duty to disclose specific types of info, and then talks about such organisations as 'opplysningspliktige'. So 'entity subject to mandatory reporting', for example, is just too vague. There are lots of different types of mandatory reporting obligation.

4 hrs confidence:

under a duty of disclosure; required to disclose suspicious activity

Explanation:
opplysningsplikt: duty of disclosure; disclosure requirement are what I have in my own glossaries.

The duty will need to be tailored to the specific scenario, often in the UK with Solicitors way off-target: in a case reported to the Law Soc. - and I know of - it had been the firm's book-keeper-cum-computer operator who had made off with the embezzled funds.

In England + Wales in civil litigation previously called: subject to automatic discovery directions.

Example sentence(s):

This guide explains how to report suspicious activity to the National Crime Agency. ... money laundering – under part 7 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA)
