Course Details

As economic crime continues to evolve there is a risk of the UKs extensive anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regime becoming outdated and ineffective.  In 2022 a review was undertaken by HM Treasury focussing on ensuring the application of risk-based controls across the regulated sector and developing a world-class AML Supervisory regime.  The results of this review and the following consultation have been published and have lead to several intended changes to the MLRs.  In this session we look at these changes and the impact they will have on your firm's policies, controls and procedures.


In this course Lucy Brown covers the following topics:

  • The MLR review
  • The consultation
  • The consultation response
  • Proposed timescales
  • Other upcoming changes

Later moving on to a project working with an international partner to scope a new pensions administration system. This work drew on expertise in:

After a career break, Lucy went into practice as a bookkeeper, growing and developing a successful bookkeeping practice that she then sold. Whilst in practice as a bookkeeper, Lucy developed and implemented policy and processes to ensure that the business was compliant with all legislative requirements, including Anti Money Laundering legislation.

Having successfully sold the business, Lucy worked for one of the supervisory bodies supporting members to meet their legislative obligations and satisfy professional standards.
