The obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations have never been more onerous and, though the unrelenting force of the SRA may have taken a slightly less threatening tone since the advent of the new CEO, we have no excuse to back-pedal on our compliance requirements.
This, along with a fresh approach to Source of Wealth and Source of Funds enquiries, a fresh list of high-risk countries published in October 2026, and a refreshed focus on operational systems and procedural controls all add up to the latest round of modifications to an already overburdened system.
This seminar will focus on the key duties incumbent on any of us but particularly those in the roles of COLP, COFA, MLCO and MLRO and in the high-risk areas of conveyancing and private client work.
This webinar is suitable for all staff with client contact, particularly COLPs, COFAs, MLCOs and MLROs, and those working in high-risk areas such as conveyancing and private client work.
This webinar is suitable for all levels
