Remember, money laundering is never a victimless crime. If you know, suspect or have reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that a person is engaged in money laundering or dealing in criminal property, you must submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) via SAR portal to the UK Intelligence Finance Unit (UKFIU).

Future of supervision

On 21 October 2025, the Government confirmed that the AML supervision for accountancy, legal and Trust and Company Service Provider sectors will move to a single professional services supervisor (SPSS), specifically the Financial Conduct Authority.

While this is a big shift, implementation is likely to take years. In the meantime, AAT will continue as the AML supervisor for our licensed members and carry out our normal responsibilities, including Practice Assurance Reviews and risk assessment activities. Therefore, our members must ensure full compliance with the MLR 2017. More on the consultation response can be found here.
