Anti-Money Laundering
Helping businesses meet their obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017).
Businesses across a wide range of sectors are facing increasing scrutiny from UK supervisory authorities. The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 place legal duties on organisations to identify, assess and manage their exposure to money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Meeting these obligations is essential to maintaining compliance, protecting your reputation and avoiding regulatory action.
