Anti-money laundering

No AML supervisor

This page is part of a series on the 10 most common issues we've found when reviewing firms' compliance with the Anti-money Laundering Regulations.
See the 10 most common issues
We automatically supervise our member firms through ICAEW’s Practice Assurance scheme. Where we find that a firm isn’t supervised, it is normally because the firm thinks it is an ICAEW member firm, but it isn’t.

Why is it important?

You're breaking the law if you carry on a business activity covered by the regulations but do not register with a supervisory authority.

What should firms do?

It is important that ICAEW members check that their firm meets the definition of an ICAEW member firm and are therefore in the PA scheme and supervised by ICAEW for AML.
