Get ready to provide the SRA with AML and Financial Sanctions Information
August 28, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
The SRA has written to all law firms they regulate informing them of mandatory information on AML and Financial Sanctions that they will be required to provide via their portal from the beginning of August.
With the spotlight on law firms in this area, there is a reported nervousness from firms wanting to ensure that they get this right.
For this webinar we will be joined by Gavin Ball, Co-owner & Director at HiveRisk. Gavin is a former MRLO & head compliance, specialising in AML and counter fraud.
Gavin will cover the sample questions that have already been released by the SRA to aid firms to ‘get ready to get ready’ and covers in detail the SRA’s current approach to sanctions.
The questionnaires will provide the SRA with information on:
- Work your firm carries out within scope of the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017
- Any contact or involvement your firm has with the sanctions regime and any persons who are designated under it
- Submission of suspicious activity reports to the National Crime Agency
Please still register if you are interested but unable to attend the live webinar, as all those who register will receive a link to the recording on-demand after the session.
