Free Art Webinar:
A Year of Change: Helping You Understand the Art Market AML Landscape

Tuesday 21 July| 12pm - 1pm (BST)

FCSAD July 26 Webinar Pop up hexagon

About the Webinar

It's been a busy year for AML in the Art Market, with two new sets of HMRC guidance in October 2025 and July 2026, criminal cases, a threshold change and an update to the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs). With these changes, FCS Compliance is hosting a live, free-to-attend webinar to explain what they mean in day-to-day terms and how you can prepare.

This practical webinar will cut through the legal jargon and focus on what the changes mean in practical, day-to-day terms. We will explain how the last 18 months impacts you, where you may need to make updates, and the steps you can take now to strengthen your Risk Assessments, CDD processes, policies, training and audit trails.

Your hosts, Rena Neville and Jonathan Evans, will talk you through: 

  • Specifically what risks HMRC expects the art market to focus on

  • What caused two art market participants to be criminally charged in 2026

  • How HMRC Interventions are different from two years ago

  • The impact of the new 2026 UK ML Regulations and what steps AMPs should take in response.
