FIND OUT MORECounsel Alasdair Glass comments on the FCA urging brokers to tighten anti-money laundering controls, after their recent review identified gaps in brokers' defences against money laundering. Alasdair's comments were published in Law360, 23 January 2025, and can be found here.
The Financial Conduct Authority highlighted the need for brokers to practice more rigorous risk mitigation following concerns in its review over areas such as risk assessment of customers. Additionally, they said companies have "significant ongoing challenges" with transaction monitoring, and that while financial crime training has generally been adopted, several firms have yet to tailor training content to their business model.
Commenting on why the report is an important resource for wholesale brokers looking to benchmark their systems and controls against the market, "It seems likely that future investigations by the FCA will identify any failures to prevent money laundering through the market by reference to this report, and so compliance and in-house legal teams, at brokerage firms in particular, will no doubt be studying this with interest."
