Introduction
Post-COVID-19 there have been increased concerns about the rules and regulations relating to anti-money laundering processes and systems governing the legal sector and, in particular, sanctions.
According to a recent Law Society article, law firms are placing clients and staff at ‘significant risk’ by failing to pay attention to the impact working from home could have on compliance, with surveys indicating that 40% of practices have failed to update their anti-money laundering risk assessments since moving to remote working in March 2020.
New ways of working have resulted in a much higher incidence of remote consultations and the opportunity for frauds.
The SRA has also shown a ‘muscularity’ in its policing of the rules and has started to contact law firms big and small on a number of matters which they feel should have been sorted by now but which, apparently, have not.
This introductory level live broadcast session will focus on the law underlying money laundering and cover the regulations in some detail - outlining the range of things that should now be comprised in a proper due diligence line of enquiry of any new client.
