Webinar – AML Update 2024 – 29 April 2024

Firms need to have controls and measures in place to prevent property and mortgage fraud. However, in practice, these can often be inadequate and potentially expose a practice to unnecessary risks.

During this short session, Tracy Thompson will walk through CQS requirements and give practical guidance on the operational procedures law firms should be following to demonstrate compliance with CQS and ensure they are doing what they can to prevent fraud.

Attendees will be able to ask Tracy questions during the webinar.
