Content of Course

 Compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations has never been more important or, arguably, more challenging. In recent years: 

• Expectations from supervisory bodies, including the ACCA and ICAEW, have increased significantly 
• The pandemic led to a substantial rise in fraudulent activity, without a corresponding increase in reports made by firms 
• The ongoing geopolitical instabilities have highlighted the critical need to consider financial and trade sanctions carefully when acting for clients 

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the Regulations and current hot topics, including sanctions, and explains how these developments impact accountancy firms. It also covers the requirements of the CCAB Guidance for the Accountancy Sector, which firms are obliged to follow. 

Additionally, the course includes: 

• An overview of HAT’s Anti Money Laundering Procedures Methodology 
• Guidance on tailoring the Manual to your firm 
• Time dedicated to discussing common problems and real life scenarios 
• An opportunity for delegates to raise and explore specific AML concerns
