Anti-money laundering training
Online CPD training
The Law Society now has online introductory courses focusing on money laundering law and advice provided in the practice note.
Each course has 3 hours CPD.
Overview
As a Money Laundering Reporting Officer, you face constant challenges in ensuring that your firm stays compliant with anti-money laundering obligations. The Law Society’s highly popular AML training equips you to effectively manage your obligations as an MLRO, as well as the expectations of fee earners and clients, in a proportionate and effective way.
In response to feedback from previous series the seminars have been extended to three hours, with more time to consider issues around privilege and to work through real life scenarios.
AML in Practice
This course is designed for MLROs who have undertaken introductory training in AML compliance and are seeking to learn how to apply that knowledge more effectively in practical situations.
The course will look at some of the more challenging aspects of compliance including assessing risk and understanding the interaction between legal professional privilege and the reporting requirements.
Advanced AML
This course builds on previous AML courses and looks to extend practitioners’ experience with more complicated AML scenarios based around the more challenging aspects of AML compliance. Those who have previously attended an AML in Practice course should consider attending this level of training.
Who should attend?
Persons appointed within a legal practice to undertake any of the following roles:
• Money Laundering Reporting Officers and their deputies
• Directors of Risk
• Practice Managers
Important Information
It is recommended that MLROs do not attend both levels of training in one series. There will be some overlap between the levels, as key topical issues will be covered in both courses.
For new MLROs, the Law Society provides an online introductory course to enable you to more effectively participate in these face-to-face seminars.
