Anti-Money Laundering SORTED

A lot of firms we work with have a MLRO who also has other management responsibilities and quite often fee earning targets.

We hear from them that they feel the burden of compliance, but they are often frustrated as:

  • Keeping up to date with all the changes is difficult
  • Interpreting the rules and regulations law firms are bound by can be difficult because they are vague
  • They are never sure their systems properly manage the risks
  • It is a struggle to engage the staff, training is often boring
  • People don’t follow the policies and procedures
  • It feels like people make simple and obvious mistakes
  • Some people won’t do what is asked of them – everyone we speak to tells us this.
Teal Compliance sorted

We have designed our AML Sorted service to support MLROs by introducing a programme of work which will ensure your firm has all the resources it needs to comply and, most importantly, it is followed by your team. Through training, effective policies, and regular auditing, firms will have confidence their compliance is working.

While using our service, firms will have regular training and policy reviews, reports to the Management Team about compliance, and access to our helpline for guidance on any issues which arise. We work in partnership with our clients to make sure their compliance programme works to benefit the firm and their clients.

Our service is delivered over two years, starting with a diagnostic gap analysis which includes a review of your policies and procedures and gaining an understanding of how compliance works within your firm. From this, we can plan a scheme of work to ensure that appropriate training is delivered, that policies and procedures are up to date and accurate, and design a testing regime to ensure continued compliance.

Elements of the service:

  • Diagnostic Gap Analysis
  • Masterclasses for AML Staff
  • Briefing for Management Team
  • Finalise the Design of Compliance Framework

  • Policies updating/writing

  • In house or Remote Staff Training

  • Induction training
  • Quarterly Review
