Author: ICAEW Insights

Published: 26 Sep 2024

If you’re stepping into the role of money laundering reporting officer or want to brush up on your anti-money laundering (AML) knowledge, this free Continuous Professional Development (CPD) verifiable content will help.

The AML basics

If you’re new to AML, a great place to start is What is money laundering?

Then new and existing money laundering reporting officers (MLROs) should head to our Money Laundering Reporting Officer Guidebook where you’ll find comprehensive guidance to help you fulfil your role effectively and break it down into manageable tasks. 

Explore the money laundering regulatory framework, updated in January 2024, that applies to all ICAEW member firms here. And to dive deeper, take a look at AML risk and how member firms can take a risk-based approach where you'll find AML guidance for the accountancy sector and advice on how to perform a firm-wide risk assessment.

Helpful AML content

If you’re part of an AML supervised firm, you’ll find a whole host of AML resources here, including webinars, factsheets and guidance.

All members can join our free upcoming webinars on 30 September: Meeting the AML challenge: a proactive approach for modern firms and 13 November: 2024 AML results and thematic review: the firm-wide risk assessment

All Too Familiar, ICAEW’s award-winning training film, was produced in collaboration with HMRC. It explores the trust placed in personal and professional relationships and asks whether trust is enough in the fight against economic crime. Members can watch it for free here.
