FCA Anti-Money Laundering Guidance

The team at Ecompli are well-versed in providing FCA Anti-Money Laundering guidance to businesses throughout the UK.

The Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) predecessor streamlined its rules by removing the Money Laundering source book and replacing it with the principle based rules found in the Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls source book (SYSC). These rules came into effect on the 31st August 2006 and details the controls that firms must have in place to prevent financial crime and money laundering. The emphasis of which has been put onto the senior managers to put in place suitable controls.

All staff working in the financial industry, regardless of their actual position, has a statutory duty to be aware of the need to prevent money laundering. Although the FCA continues to not impose specific rules on firms advising on mortgages and non-investment insurance in respect of money laundering, as a regulated firm it is important that systems and controls are maintained to prevent business in these areas being used for financial crime. Firms also have an explicit legal requirement under the terms of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 to maintain vigilance in respect of any evidence that a transaction is associated in any way with the proceeds of criminal activity.
