SRA AML Annual Report 2023 - 2024

Introduction

It’s coming up to that time of year again as we await the release of the SRA AML Annual Report 2023/24.

In a year where we have seen so many law firms fined for AML failings this report will make for an interesting read looking at the facts, figures and findings of the SRA thematic reviews and law firm visits.

What can we expect this year? Have we improved in our compliance with the money laundering regulations? What percentage of our firms are fully compliant? Have there been improvements in key areas such as client and matter risk assessments?

This session will help you to identify areas of concern that you can improve on should you be visited by the SRA. Suitable for MLROs, MLCOs, Deputy MLROs, Compliance Team members and anyone else in your firm seeking to improve their knowledge in AML.
