Property AML Law and Guidance Has Changed - Are You Ready?

Thursday 16 July |1pm - 1:30pm (BST)

About the Webinar

With changes to the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs) announced and updated HMRC guidance expected, estate and letting agents should be taking a fresh look at their AML controls.

This practical webinar will cut through the legal jargon and focus on what the changes mean in day-to-day terms. We’ll explain what we are likely to expect from HMRC, where firms may need to make updates, and the steps you can take now to strengthen your Risk Assessments, CDD processes, policies, training and audit trails before you face regulatory scrutiny.

Your host, Stephen Williamson, will talk you through:

  • What the latest Money Laundering Regulation changes mean for estate and letting agents
  • How upcoming HMRC guidance is likely to affect day-to-day AML compliance
  • What HMRC will expect to see in your risk assessment, policies and procedures
  • When Customer Due Diligence and Enhanced Due Diligence should be reviewed or updated
  • How to identify higher-risk clients, transactions and warning signs
  • What records, training and audit trails your firm should have in place
  • Practical steps you can take now to strengthen your AML controls and be inspection-ready
