Anti money laundering (AML) training for solicitors and other regulated professionals

Topics covered by our AML training

Our AML training is completely bespoke and tailored to your situation. However, topics we typically cover include:

• What money laundering is, and how it works: we'll explain how money laundering works and the three stages of money laundering. We'll provide real life examples of money laundering schemes that have targeted regulated professionals. 
• Anti money laundering rules and regulations that you need to know, such as the Money Laundering Regulations, the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Terrorism Act.
• Customer due diligence (CDD) and client identity verification: we'll teach you how to properly verify client identity — from verifying identity documents to understanding beneficial ownership of companies and trusts. We'll explain when enhanced due diligence is needed and what it entails.
• Source of funds and source of wealth: we’ll explain how to determine and verify the client’s source of funds for the transaction and, where relevant, the origin of a client’s overall wealth. 
• Recognising suspicious activity and common red flags: through the use of real world examples, we'll show you how to spot some of the common signs of money laundering.
• How to respond to suspected money laundering: you'll learn how to react in the correct way, while ensuring that you do not become guilty of tipping the client off. We'll cover effective record keeping to satisfy regulator requirements.
• Ongoing monitoring and updates: implementing an effective anti money laundering system is not a one-time task — it requires ongoing monitoring and vigilance. You'll learn how best to do this and the importance of regularly refreshing your knowledge.
