Common pitfalls

Judging scope by business name

Assessing scope from the business name alone rather than its actual activities.

Treating a policy as the programme

Treating goAML registration or a policy document as the complete compliance programme.

Weak customer checks

Weak customer checks or missing beneficial-owner verification.

Outdated registration

Missing required registration or leaving account details outdated.

Not escalating or reporting

Failing to escalate concerns or make required reports promptly.

Overlooking sanctions & training

Overlooking sanctions screening, staff training and control reviews.

Frequently asked

Real questions from real calls.

Your obligations depend on your activities and regulatory status. Certain non-financial businesses and professions must meet specific AML and reporting requirements when carrying out covered activities. Businesses outside those categories may still have sanctions and other legal obligations. We assess the requirements that apply to your business.
