FCS Compliance and the National Crime Agency (NCA) have united to present the first Rightmove AML webinar of the year – Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) – the process, minimising delays and avoiding penalties.

Free to Rightmove members, this hour-long session will take place at 10am on Thursday 26 January.

The webinar will be presented by Malcolm Driscoll, lead AML Consultant at FCS Compliance and Michael Jones, ‘Reporter Engagement – Senior Officer’, in the UK Financial Intelligence Unit (UKFIU) at the NCA.

Driscoll commented: “The number of SARs being filed with the NCA is on the up.  Between 2019-20 some 570,000 SARs were filed, while in 2022 it looks as though numbers will top 850,000.  Understanding when to file a SAR and the process itself is important.  The consequences of getting it wrong can be costly.”

Michael Jones who has first-hand experience of dealing with SARS will discuss what happens to a report when it arrives at the NCA.

This is a practical session with an opportunity for delegates to put questions directly to the experts.

Free to Rightmove members, registration for the webinar is through the Rightmove Hub.
