The Money Laundering Regulations stipulate that a relevant firm must provide AML training to all staff and agents. Training ensures that staff/agents are aware of their suspicious activity reporting obligations and understand and how to comply with a firm’s AML policies.
What we found in our 2021/22 AML compliance reviews
We found that some firms haven’t provided sufficient AML training to their staff.
What should you do?
- Design a training plan to ensure the right staff receive the right training.
- Keep a signed log of staff training, asking staff to sign and date the log to emphasise to them the importance of always following their training.
