AML Audits for Accountancy Firms - The Inspector’s Perspective

Introduction

Working within the accountancy sector brings its own unique challenges, not least ensuring compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations and associated legislation.

It is an area of much debate and concern that if you get it wrong you may be susceptible to the money launderer, a fine from your supervisory body, reputational damage, or loss of clients.

During this webinar, expert speaker Lucy Brown will help to address those concerns. She will also share insights gained when her own firm was inspected by a professional body supervisor.

Aimed at owners and MLROs of accountancy and bookkeeping practices in the UK, this webinar will focus on the AML audit from the inspector's perspective, including their expectations, dos and don'ts, and what the money launderer is looking for.
