Wednesday 3 December, 12PM UK | The UK government has confirmed a major shake-up to AML supervision: the Financial Conduct Authority will take over from the SRA and other professional body supervisors as the Single Professional Services Supervisor (SPSS). Law firms and accountancy firms will come under a single AML regulator for the first time. The transition will be long, complex, and expensive if you’re not ready.
Nothing changes today, but firms should start getting prepared. The FCA’s model is tougher: more data-driven, more rules-based, and much more focused on evidence and governance. AML compliance becomes something you prove continuously.
