Introduction
What a year 2023 has been in the world of AML.
We have had so much new guidance, warning notices, and templates from the SRA together with the release of the SRA AML Annual Report.
One major update came in March 2023 with the releases of a new version of the Legal Sector Affinity Group (LSAG) guidance. Just when we thought we had all the changes in place from the previous version, we must update things again.
So, have you had chance to read up on this again?
It’s over 220 pages long so a lengthy read. Have you revisited, reviewed, and updated your practice wide risk assessment, policies and procedures and training in line with the new version?
March was a busy time for new guidance as the LSAG also released additional guidance on Chinese underground banking and funds from China. Again, something to consider for your risk assessment, policies, and procedures and training.
This new virtual classroom seminar will provide you with an invaluable insight into the recent updates and changes in the guidance together with a refresh of the key points.
