Anti Money Laundering Training - Are you up to date?

Why attend?

The SRA thematic review on training is now underway. Has your firm been chosen for this review? Are you happy that all of your staff are up to speed with all things AML?

 Regulation 24 of the MLR2017 talks about the requirement to ensure staff and agents are trained in AML/CTF and it has been a mandatory requirement for the past 20 years! So why are we still seeing firms being fined for not training their staff on AML?

The Legal Sector Affinity Group (LSAG) guidance states that “you should take a risk-based approach to determining how often specific role-based AML training should take place, although some form of high-level basic AML awareness/refresher training should be taken annually across all relevant employees”

These are the facts so, now is the time to get your house in order with regards to AML training.

This 3 hour session will cover all that’s new in the world of AML for 2024 and refresh everyone on the key points of the MLR2017. The session will be suitable for all members of staff in your firm and give them the annual refresher required under the LSAG guidance. The session will cover many areas including the following:

• An introduction to the world of AML
• What is AML/CTF?
• Key sections of the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) 2002 and the Terrorism Act 2000
• Key points of the money laundering regulations and the LSAG guidance including:
  • Risk assessments – practice-wide, client and matter
  • CDD – when, what, why, how
  • Policies, controls and procedures – what have you got in place
  • Enhanced due diligence – regulation 33 requirements
  • Politically Exposed People (PEP) – regulation 35
  • The role of the MLRO/MLCO
  • Reporting of suspicions – what the NCA says
  • Requesting a Defence Against Money Laundering (DAML)
  • Red flags and warning signs
• The SRA and their thematic reviews and audits
