AML Foundations Check

This provides a clear, high-level view of where your AML framework stands, and where it's likely to draw questions if reviewed.

​

The twelve questions, drawn directly from the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Legal Sector Affinity Group's AML guidance, covering governance, risk assessment, client due diligence and independent testing. Answered honestly, it takes a few minutes and gives an immediate sense of where a framework is genuinely defensible and where it isn't.

I built this using the same standards I applied as a former SRA AML Regulatory Manager, having reviewed hundreds of AML frameworks across firms of every size. It won't replace a proper review, but it will tell you quickly whether one is worth having.

What it covers

  • Governance and oversight

  • Risk assessment and enhanced due diligence triggers

  • Client due diligence and evidence

  • Training and independent testing

Answer honestly. The result is for your own use, and stays private unless you choose to share your email for the full breakdown.

If your result raises questions you'd like to talk through, you can reach me via the contact form below, or get in touch directly.
