You may recall in one of our previous newsletters we talked about accountants having to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act. Since the 1st October 2018 we have been completing customer due diligence on our clients and their related parties when significant “captured activities” have been carried out or as a standard procedure as your annual accounts have been completed.
If we have already requested ‘proof of identification’ and/or ‘proof of address’ from you or your entities, and you have not had a chance to bring this information in to us as yet, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible. If you are unsure of what is required or have any queries please do not hesitate to contact our receptionists who will be able to assist you.
