SmartSearch gurantees your firm is compliant now and in the future
As a member of the European Union (EU), the UK’s anti-money laundering (AML) laws were dictated by the European Parliament’s Money Laundering Directives. But, on 31 December 2020 - four years after the Brexit vote - the UK finally left the EU. So, the question is, what happens to the UK’s regulatory environment now that it is no longer governed by the EU?
John continues: “For many accountancy firms, AML is still seen as a huge burden, taking up valuable time and money that could be better spent on servicing their clients. And I completely understand that, particularly over the past year where firms have had to worry about trying to continue to practice during a pandemic.
“Adapting to a remote working model has become the main concern and understandably, AML has fallen down the priority list. But a rush to get online and onboard customers quickly is when compliance starts to slip and this is a dangerous place to be.”
But, says John, KYC does not have to be cumbersome. Online verification platforms offer a simple and secure way to meet AML and KYC obligations, and can be used to onboard clients even under social distancing.
“SmartSearch’s platform - which can be accessed remotely - runs full AML checks with sanctions and PEP screening, hosts all data and then monitors the entire customer database on an ongoing basis.”
Two of the biggest AML risks to an accountancy firm are ID fraud and working with businesses where the real owner is a criminal, but their identity has been hidden using multiple shell and umbrella companies; SmartSearch is able to combat both these threats, as John explains.
“We offer the latest facial recognition and liveness detection techniques enabling us to prove that the person providing the ID and the ID match, while our ‘ultimate business owner’ checks identify and verify the ultimate owners of any corporate customers.
“AML does not need to be difficult - third party providers like us are here to help accountants meet their requirements. Our system can be integrated with any existing client database to make customer onboarding quick, easy and AML compliant.”
