Training
What are my responsibilities for training new members of staff, one of whom claims to have already received AML training at their previous employment?

As it is your responsibility under Regulation 24 for MLR 2017 to train all your staff you should ensure that your new member of staff receives adequate training from you. You could be prosecuted for a breach of MLR 2017 if you fail to do so. Also, your internal AML policies and procedures may be different to those of the previous firm of your new member of staff. Not only should staff receive training at their induction but they should also be given refresher training - Regulation 24 states that training should be given 'regularly'. This is particularly important where AML legislation is amended or an individual's job changes.

A written record must be maintained of training provided.

Where can I get training from?
