AML Essentials Kit

For accountants, not regulators!

Whether you’re a sole practitioner or part of a large firm, everything in this kit applies to you. If AML feels overly complex or hard to prioritise, this guidance is designed to help you get to grips with the essentials and reduce risk through practical steps. We’ve simplified the legislation, pulled out what matters most, and structured it in a way that supports both training and day-to-day compliance. This content was developed with an independent AML expert for UK accountants, then reviewed and refined by our content team to ensure it’s clear, practical, and easy to use.
