This webinar is presented by Trevor Hellawell. This 1-hour course covers the latest Anti-Money Laundering Amendment Regulations 2019. Over 3 years on and amid much turmoil in the regulatory sector, the profession’s attempts to comply with Anti-money laundering obligations continues.

It will also include an update on what they have found as a result of their investigations into law firms’ procedures undertaken throughout 2019 and 2020 and a full update on the implications of the Amendment Regulations 2019, that came into effect in January 2020.
