Standard Guidance

Reach Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (Accountancy Sector) readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 set the AML obligations for accountancy service providers supervised by HMRC or a professional body (ICAEW, ACCA, AAT, CIOT). Firms must run a documented firm-wide risk assessment, apply customer due diligence (CDD) — including enhanced due diligence for higher-risk and PEP relationships — appoint a nominated officer (MLRO), train staff, and keep AML records for five years. The CCAB Anti-Money Laundering Guidance for the Accountancy Sector is the approved interpretation. Quick Policy maps Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (Accountancy Sector) into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
