How we help the Legal & Accounting professions to prevent financial crime and achieve compliance
Lawyers and accountants are gatekeepers to the financial system. Criminals may exploit their services for:
- Setting up companies or trusts
- Managing client funds
- Transferring property or assets
- Providing tax advice or auditing
These services can help disguise the origins, ownership, or control of illicit funds if AML safeguards are not in place.
For the legal and accounting professions, staying on top of Anti-Money Laundering compliance isn’t just best practice—it’s essential. Failing to do so can lead to hefty fines, serious reputational damage, and even jail time for senior leaders. For example, under the EU’s 6th AML Directive, legal professionals are liable for failing to prevent money laundering if due diligence isn’t followed.
