If you work in the financial services sector (a 'regulated sector') then it's important that you understand the UK's regulations relating to financial crime. This course covers areas of the law that deal with the prevention of financial crime and is intended to provide a background for firms that are subject to the Money Laundering Regulations, as well as those outside the ‘regulated’ sector that might still be used in the money laundering process.

This course is suitable for anyone who works in the financial services sector that handles or processes large amounts of money, particularly those businesses where illegally-obtained cash, property or goods could be bought, sold or exchanged.

It's a legal requirement for businesses in the regulated sector to put in place systems and controls to prevent financial crime, money laundering and counter-terror financing. This includes those businesses in the financial sector, such as accountants and bookkeepers, and businesses where substantial sums of money form part of the business, such as estate agents and those in the gambling industry.
