Does your organisation meet the requirements of the UK anti money laundering regime and legislation?

They require that your staff are trained so that they understand their anti money laundering responsibilities. A business that does not ensure staff are properly trained is committing an offence and is liable to civil penalties.

The UK anti money laundering regime has evolved over a number of years and includes legislation intended to counteract criminal money laundering and terrorist financing. The legislation has recently been updated with the introduction of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations in June 2017, which sets out the requirements of the UK anti money laundering regime. This training will satisfy the regulatory requirement for verifiable learning for all staff to understand their anti money laundering responsibilities and ensure that your organisation is compliant with the new legislation and is protected from the effects of money laundering.
