John Kiernander<\/h1>

Director, Neill & Co.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My accountancy practice specialises in tax for larger businesses and family trusts, all with international sources of funds. This is a challenge when it comes to money laundering risks, because you have to be cautious that the jurisdictions you\u2019re dealing with don\u2019t expose you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also come into daily contact with AML Regulations as a financial director for a London property development firm, but this is from the other side of things: as a party borrowing money from banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I\u2019ve learnt about AML is that asking for ID, like a passport copy and utility bill, isn\u2019t enough. They don\u2019t tell you anything about a person or their business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve recommended AMLCC to a legal client and helped them implement it\u201d<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Other software just takes you through a box-ticking exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Searching for AML solutions online, it\u2019s clear that many are inadequate. There are some that mis-sell their product as a complete solution. Others, especially in accountancy software, offer a bolt-on AML service that\u2019s nothing more than a box-ticking exercise. They\u2019re not based in the Regulations and don\u2019t give you what\u2019s needed to be compliant with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything in AMLCC has been created with the Regulations in mind. It\u2019s well thought-out and goes into great detail on what you need to know about a client and why. This kind of deep questioning is exactly what you need to truly understand the risks your business might face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our client in the Legal sector is now using AMLCC on our advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have a client who was finding it a challenge to keep up with changes to the AML Regulations. That\u2019s simply not an option. It might not be an easy subject but it has to be faced up to. AMLCC has helped them to get on top of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback from them is that the platform speeds up their day-to-day AML work. This is thanks in part to the central dashboard, which is where you can find out everything you need about your business\u2019 and clients\u2019 risks. I\u2019d second this. This is one of the features which we\u2019ve found to be the most helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also use AMLCC to create and securely store all our KYC documents, so everything\u2019s in one place. Because you can date-stamp these, the central dashboard warns you when the document needs to be updated, so we never slip up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no doubts at all that AMLCC has been the right solution for us and for our client. AML can be hard. As a regulated professional, there\u2019s continuous learning to be done in this area. AMLCC makes it easier.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Your team they have been excellent from the moment Fiona did a demo for me with only 15 minutes notice, and thoroughly going through the AMLCC product, answering the many questions I had! It was at this point at which I made up my mind this is the sort of business I want to work with for my AML.”
