Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy Writers
What are Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policies?
Anti-money laundering (AML) policies outline how organisations prevent, detect and report activities that may involve money laundering, terrorist financing or other financial crime.
Money laundering can expose organisations to serious legal, financial and reputational risks. A clear policy ensures that staff understand their responsibilities, that suspicious activities are identified early, and that the organisation complies with all regulatory requirements.
What Do Anti-Money Laundering Policies Cover?
An anti-money laundering policy typically includes:
-
A statement of zero tolerance towards money laundering and financial crime
-
Responsibilities of staff, managers and nominated officers (such as a Money Laundering Reporting Officer, MLRO)
-
Customer due diligence (CDD) and know your customer (KYC) requirements
-
Risk assessment processes to identify high-risk clients, transactions or jurisdictions
-
Procedures for identifying and reporting suspicious activity to the MLRO
-
Record-keeping requirements for transactions and due diligence checks
-
Staff training on recognising and responding to money laundering risks
-
Cooperation with regulators and law enforcement agencies where required
-
Links to financial crime, bribery and corruption, fraud prevention and compliance policies
A clear policy helps employees understand how to spot red flags, follow reporting procedures and act responsibly when handling client transactions or financial matters.
It also ensures compliance with the UK Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and oversight from bodies such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
By embedding robust AML practices, organisations can reduce exposure to financial crime, protect their reputation and demonstrate their commitment to lawful and ethical business conduct.
