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

fully AML compliant at your practice in just one session. We will cover the
following:

look out for.

Legislation), how these impact your practice and the latest guidance
available.
- Upcoming likely changes to legislation in this area, as well as proposed
changes to the UK AML Supervision Regime.
- The important roles of the National Crime Agency (NCA), HMRC and the PSNI
in Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR), and Government plans to reform the
national structures in place in this area over the coming years.
- When and how to report an AML issue, and when not to report. We will in
particular focus on the 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.
