THE MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS AFFECTS ALL PARTNERS, STAFF AND THE SELF-EMPLOYED IN REGULATED SECTOR FIRMS

The law expects individuals in the regulated sector to be able to identify suspicious activity to the level of a ‘reasonable person’ and make the appropriate report to their MLRO and places a personal liability on the individual if they fail to do so.  The 2007 regulations impose further civil and criminal offences on a firm for failure to:

• Know Your Client and Client Due Diligence procedures
• Adopt a risk based approach
• Know how to effectively mitigate your risks
• Apply enhanced customer due diligence for those cases that pose a higher risk
• Have internal systems for reporting, regular staff training and record keeping
• Register for compliance monitoring

Poor compliance could potentially impact on your business in different ways: The ML Regulations 2007 are firmly in place.  We have an obligation and compulsion under law to follow them and demonstrate to a supervisor that we have done so. Your supervisor will be looking for;-

• Your firms effcetive policy and procedures for compliance
• Sufficient and relevant training for yourself and your staff
• Your procedures for making SAR's

If you are a relevant person the liability is on you to ensure that your staff, and sub-contractors, understand fully their role and obligations under the UK's AML/CFT regime and have clear understanding of your firms's policy and procedures, then being able to demonstrate this to a supervisory authority.
