About the Webinar

It has been another busy year for AML in the Art Market, with changes to the UK Money Laundering Regulations, updated guidance, criminal cases and a shift in focus during HMRC interventions. With these developments, and following on from our July webinar on this topic, FCS Compliance is hosting another session to provide extra support for you and your business. 

This live, free-to-attend webinar will cut through the legal jargon and focus on what has changed over the past year, including new definitions of high-risk jurisdictions, updated guidance around UK Politically Exposed Persons, whether you qualify as a larger organisation, increased emphasis on source of funds and wider triggers for when Enhanced Due Diligence should be considered.

Your hosts, Rena Neville and Jonathan Evans, will talk you through the steps you may need to take to comply with the changing AML landscape in the UK, including whether you now must:

  • Appoint a Compliance Officer in addition to your Nominated Officer

  • Run criminal background or Home Office right-to-work checks on your employees

  • Undertake independent spot checks of your AML program

  • Train all staff on matters involving Suspicious Activity Reports

  • Consider a much longer list of high-risk jurisdictions, including the US, Switzerland, and the UAE, among others
