More than 35 Acts and Regulations have bearing on the money laundering/terrorist financing issues facing professional services firms. We maintain constant access to key legislative provisions relating specifically to your business. Fully collated, searchable and instantly accessible
All the relevant guidelines, fully collated, searchable and instantly accessible.
A vastly more comprehensive media suite than the selected news page, with many hundreds of news stories particularly regarding AML issues, risks and involvement of lawyers, accountants and real estate agents. These materials are perhaps the world's largest repository of information of its kind; illustrating the many ways in which specifically the businesses of lawyers, accountants and real estate agents have become embroiled in money laundering activities, often unwittingly. This additional resource also illustrates evolving enforcement priorities; increasingly, enforcement action (criminal, civil and professional) involves these professionals, resulting in a range of sanctions even for unwitting involvement in jurisdictions even without wide-ranging AML/CFT legislation specifically covering these professionals (including loss of licence, financial penalties and imprisonment).
As many as 11 Ministers, 8 policy and operational government agencies and 3 supervisory agencies are directly involved in this area. Another 7 groups also have key "all of government" policy and operational oversight and co-ordination responsibilities. We maintain extensive links to key government resources, including direct access to their specialist AML/CFT resources, and contact details for senior managers.
Publically accessible yet difficult to access; so we maintain details of Ministerial Exemptions in a new format; fully collated, searchable and instantly accessible.
The thicket of regulatory change, and the dissemination of information to professional services providers, can be overwhelming; with valuable information easily overlooked or misunderstood out of context. We maintain a comprehensive regulatory development and member services timeline. This details on-going regulatory development processes (including briefing papers, Gazette notifications and regulatory development) with key documents specifically for lawyers, accountants and real estate agents; in an easily accessible timeline format that is fully collated, searchable and instantly accessible.
Over 500 pages from targeted Official Information Act requests, relating particularly to the AML CFT involvement of lawyers, accountants and real estate agents. These materials offer deep insights complementing the vast array of other materials exclusive to amlAssurance.
Our collection of international and local resources specifically related to the issues facing lawyers, accountants and real estate agents in the New Zealand context is so large, and growing, that it is almost certainly the most extensive resource of its kind, anywhere.
