We are proud to announce the addition of our new Anti-Money Laundering course that launches on the 28th October 2021. The new course will be available as part of our Compliance Module and is included within our standard subscription - that's now 21 courses that our users have access too!
Why is this course important?
Boris Johnson has revealed that the government is pumping more money into the National Crime Agency (NCA) to hold accountable anyone involved in money laundering.
According to a recent NCA article “estate agents, can be criminally exploited – this is sometimes complicit, sometimes negligent, and sometimes unwitting”. The property sector is considered ‘high-risk’ and the risk score for estate agency businesses’ is increasing from ‘low’ to ‘medium’.
Who is our Anti-Money Laundering course for?
Estate agents have a responsibility to report “suspicious activity” (SARs) to the NCA.
Ensuring staff are trained in how to spot suspicious activity will help agents avoid the risk of being complicit in Money Laundering and getting fined.
This means that, now more than ever, agents must be confident that their teams understand their obligations in terms of money laundering and the procedures involved. No one wants a knock on the door from HMRC.
How to access this course?
In light of this increased risk for agents, The Able Agent have launched an AML training course for estate and lettings agents as part of their monthly online training subscription.
For just £95+Vat per month, you have access for 7 staff to online training in lettings estate agency, property management, selling skills, customer service, compliance and AML all in one place, with downloadable certificates on completion.
