Introduction to Anti-Money Laundering and Suspicious Activity

Understanding anti-money laundering is critical. Law firms are frequently targeted by money launderers, and it is a criminal offence to be involved in this process. This module is a guide to understanding how your firm may be targeted by money launderers and the steps you can take to identify suspicious instructions.  

Written by Amy Bell, a renowned expert in the field and former Chair of the Law Society’s Money Laundering Task Force, this online microlearning training module is underpinned by the Legal Sector Affinity Group’s Anti-Money Laundering Guidance for the Legal Sector on anti-money laundering and suspicious activity. 

Through videos, realistic scenarios and knowledge checks, this module harnesses AI and avatars to keep you engaged and aid information retention.
