In this session, Lucy Brown delves into the critical aspects of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance that extend beyond basic client due diligence. She explores how software solutions can facilitate, measure, and enhance the efficiency of a firm's AML compliance programme. Accountants and bookkeepers serve as gateways to the financial sector, and understanding the evolving regulatory landscape is essential to prevent money laundering activities. Lucy illustrates how integrating the right software can help firms not only fulfil their AML obligations but also demonstrate compliance effectively during external audits.
