Compliance Essentials is a subscription-based library of policies, templates, and checklists to help your firm stay compliant and review-ready.
Most small firms don't have time to build these from scratch, and even less time to keep them current when the rules change.
Mercia Compliance Essentials gives you both - ready to use - so you can get back to client work instead of chasing regulations.

Why this matters to your firm
Compliance still applies to your firm
Whether you are a sole practitioner or a growing firm, AML procedures and compliant accounts are core obligations.
The risks are everyday ones
Most compliance issues do not start dramatically. They come from missed updates, incomplete checks, weak records and inconsistent processes.
Your time is better spent elsewhere
Mercia Compliance Essentials gives you ready-to-use manuals, templates and checklists, so you are not building everything from scratch.
What's in Mercia Compliance Essentials
Everything you need, already written and kept current.

Built for firms without a compliance team
You're not a bank. You probably don't have a compliance department, a risk function, or a technical team keeping across every rule change - you've got client work to get through.
Mercia Compliance Essentials is built for firms like yours: the AML procedures and accounts preparation templates you need, already written and kept current, so you don't have to become a regulatory expert on top of everything else.

Common questions
Q: Do I need both manuals, or can I just get one?
Most firms need both - if you prepare accounts and carry out any regulated work, AML and accounts preparation obligations apply in parallel. On the call, we'll confirm what's right for your specific firm.
Q: How is pricing worked out?
Pricing is based on the number of principals in your firm, for a 12-month firm-wide subscription. Starting from £25+VAT - we'll confirm your exact price on the call.
Q: What do I actually get access to?
Both manuals are accessed online, with content downloadable in Word or PDF and customisable for each engagement. You'll always have the latest version, kept current by Mercia's technical team.
Q: Is this a sales call or a technical demo?
Both - it's a short, no-obligation conversation to understand your firm's setup and show you what's included, so you can decide if it's the right fit.
