Business benefits
Over £40 billion are illegally laundered in the UK every year.
The financial services sector and anywhere which handles large amounts of money, property, or goods are all high-risk areas for money laundering and a number of very strict laws exist to help combat it. It’s a crime to have, move, or hide assets which result from criminal activity; to help somebody else who has assets resulting from criminal activities; and, most importantly, to fail to do anything at all – whether knowingly or unknowingly. Using our Anti-Money Laundering course to train yourself and your staff in how to spot, avoid, properly report, and safely guard against money-laundering is an essential step in doing something to comply with your legal obligations, avoid being an unwitting accomplice, and to make it harder for criminals to profit from their activities.
