What does it mean to be supervised?
ICAEW member firms are automatically supervised via our Practice Assurance scheme. Being supervised ensures that firms can be monitored, and measures can be taken where necessary to secure compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.
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 you check your firm meets the definition of an ICAEW member firm and is therefore in the Practice Assurance scheme and supervised by ICAEW.
