Money Laundering Compliance Manual (ROI)
Interpreting the legislation into practical points of action - everything a firm needs to do and MLROs need to know!
Our office procedures manual has been developed to enable both employees and the firm to comply with the legislation surrounding money laundering. Compliance with the legislation is important because the penalties involved for non-compliance are serious - they range from fines to possible imprisonment for the individuals concerned. By following the guidance laid down within this manual and by completing appropriate training, both employees and the firm will be able to meet their obligations under the current legislation.
