AML: Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) Update Webinar

Join us on 10 October 2024 for an hour’s webinar on our thematic review of Suspicious Activity Reports delivered by our AML Risk Manager, Dale Trahms.

The Law Society of Scotland's anti-money laundering (AML) team launched their latest Thematic Review covering Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR’s) in May 2024. The questionnaire-based thematic review of 50 selected practices examined the profession's knowledge and understanding of the SARs regime. It has highlighted a mixed understanding among Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLRO’s) of the difference between an information SAR and a DAML, and the need for greater guidance in this area.

During the review, the team have also highlighted defence against money laundering reports (DAMLs) as a key area of focus for practices.

By attending this webinar, you will:

• Understand the reasoning for our thematic reviews
• Learn about the objectives and outcomes
• Gain insight on the threshold for suspicion
