Financial Crime is one of the top 7 priorities of the FCA for 2017 and, as such, enabling regulatory compliance is high on the list of initiatives for wealth management and private banking firms in the U.K. Firms have two sets of financial crime (also called anti-money laundering or AML) regulations to comply with:
- Money Laundering Regulations 2007, which is owned by the HM Treasury
- Additional oversight from the FCA in the form of a Financial Crime Guide developed from thematic reviews, the Systematic Anti-Money Laundering Programme (SAMLP) for some banks, and regular AML inspections for all others
These thematic reviews have resulted in fines and restriction of activities for firms who failed to prove the requisite due diligence and actions.
