What's New in AML for Accountants - Summer 2026

Introduction

Accounting practices are required to ensure that policies, procedures, internal controls, and risk assessments are kept up to date, and that staff receive timely and effective training on new and emerging requirements. In a rapidly changing regulatory environment, maintaining compliance can present practical challenges.

The AML and CTF landscape has already seen significant activity in 2026, with further developments expected throughout the remainder of the year. Ongoing changes to legislation, regulations, regulatory guidance and supervisory approaches mean that firms must remain alert and responsive to evolving expectations.

It is particularly relevant for MLROs and Deputy MLROs, compliance officers and others with responsibility for AML/CTF oversight, as well as professionals who wish to remain informed of current regulatory expectations and best practice.
