Tranche 2 has been in force since 1 July, but applying it to real clients is raising plenty of questions. Do existing clients need checks? What triggers one? And where are firms getting caught out?
Join Conrad Gilbert (Knowledge Shop) as he works through the AML questions accountants ask the most. Plus, hear from Ethan Cooney (Ignition) on how to build verification into your engagements, so the right checks happen before the work starts.
What you'll learn:
- What AML/CTF means for clients you had before 1 July, and what they’re not exempt from
- How to assess and monitor existing client risk, and spot when it changes
- Which events trigger due diligence, and what to do when one occurs
- How to build ID and KYC checks into onboarding, with the evidence kept for every engagement
Free AML checks until 31 December
Join Ignition by 30 November on a Core, Pro or Pro+ plan and run your AML and KYC checks free until 31 December 2026.
*New customers only. T&Cs apply.
