Preparing for SRA AML Inspections and Desk‑Based Reviews Webinar: What Firms Need to Know
Content
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) continues to increase its focus on anti‑money laundering (AML) supervision, with more firms experiencing AML inspections and desk‑based reviews. Understanding what the SRA expects and how to prepare is critical to reducing regulatory risk.
This 30‑minute practical webinar will guide law firms through the SRA’s approach to AML inspections and desk‑based reviews, highlighting common problem areas, regulatory expectations, and key steps firms should be taking now to stay inspection‑ready.
Designed for MLROs, COLPs, COFAs, and compliance professionals, the session will focus on insights and practical actions, rather than theory.
What the webinar will cover:
- The difference between SRA AML inspections and desk‑based reviews
- Why firms are selected and what typically triggers SRA engagement
- Key risk areas the SRA scrutinises most closely
- Common weaknesses identified during AML reviews
- How to prepare effectively and respond with confidence
- Practical tips to reduce enforcement and follow‑up risk
