Who should attend
All staff in your practice, right through from Partner
level to Trainees have specific AML responsibilities and hence attendance on
this interactive webinar for all members of your team would be of benefit to
ensure that your firm remains fully AML compliant.
This course specifically focuses on the needs of accountants in practice in
Northern Ireland, but is equally relevant to practitioners across the United
Kingdom
.Course overview
From the Whole Firm Risk Assessment, to the documentation
that you should have for each and every client, as well as current reporting
requirements, this webinar will allow you to gain the understanding on what you
now need to be fully AML compliant at your practice in just one session. We will
cover the following:
- An understanding of what Money Laundering is and what
signs you should look out for.
- Recent changes to AML Legislation (such as the UK
Economic Crime Legislation), how these impact your practice and the latest
guidance available.
- The important roles of the National Crime Agency
(NCA), HMRC and the PSNI in Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR).
- When and how to report an AML issue, and when not to
report. We will in particular focus on the new NCA online reporting system.
- We will also discuss the practical AML Reporting
issues and dilemmas facing you; and
- Professional Standard’s evolving supervisory role,
their approach to AML compliance reviews, as well as the most common findings
that you can avoid at your firm will also be covered.
This webinar will be as interactive as possible, with time
allocated to allow participants to ask the questions and deal with the AML
issues that matter to you. We will also show how our Institute AML Toolkit can
assist your practice to remain compliant in this area.
