2025 has brought a wave of important Anti-Money Laundering (AML) developments, requiring firms to revisit their Firm-Wide Risk Assessments and update AML policies and procedures. This session, led by Tracy Thompson, will provide a concise yet practical overview of the past year and prepare firms for what lies ahead in 2026.
Key areas covered include:
- Revised LSAG Guidance (April 2025): Practical updates and implications for day-to-day compliance.
- National Risk Assessment (July 2025): Insights from the Treasury’s findings and consultation on the Money Laundering Regulations.
- SRA Sectoral Risk Assessment (July 2025): How the regulator’s updated view affects your firm’s risk profile.
- SRA Compliance Conference Highlights (October 2025): Key compliance priorities emerging from the SRA’s annual Compliance Conference.
- SRA Thematic Visit Findings: Unpublished but critical regulator expectations, including:
- Robust Source of Funds/Source of Wealth checks.
- Strengthened AML training requirements.
- Effective Regulation 21 Independent Audit processes.
By the end of the session, delegates will leave with clarity on the latest AML obligations, a forward look at 2026, and practical action points to maintain compliance with both regulatory standards and quality frameworks such as Lexcel and CQS.
