Where can I go to maintain my Anti Money Laundering (AML) compliance?
The government provides a huge amount of help and support to make sure you are fully up to date with your AML compliance. Head over to this web page and scroll down to the 'estate agency' section to watch the webinars specific to property and to download the online guide. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/help-and-support-for-anti-money-laundering When completing an AML check you are able to outsource the check to companies who specialise in AML checks. At HQ we have used Creditsafe or Veriphy in the past who have been very thorough and reasonably priced. Head over here to take a look at them - www.creditsafe.com or www.veriphy.com Every year a Director from each franchise should undergo compliance training to keep up to date with compliance in the industry (this is a mandatory condition in your contract.) and the courses that you need to take are � � AML � Data Protection (GDPR) � Financial Promotion. Compliance training allows franchisees to learn about the laws and regulations that apply to you and your role as a property professional. We operate in both the property and financial space, therefore it is very important that we don�t fall foul of the many, many regulations that are out there for both of these sectors. As this is everyone�s first year on the contract the cost of the training is covered for you by Sourced, so you will not need to pay for it in your first year. If you haven�t done already, you will receive an email from E3CT inviting you to sign up for the courses. Look out for it and please complete it as soon as possible. If you haven't had it please get in touch with admin@sourced.co and someone will be in touch to help.
