Free NCA / UKFIU Workshop

The National Crime Agency, (NCA) leads the UK’s fight to cut serious and organised crime. It seeks to protect the public by targeting and pursuing criminals who pose the greatest risk to the UK.

The UK Financial Intelligence Unit or the UKFIU is a unit of the National Crime Agency, they collect, analyse, and share financial intelligence.

The UKFUI's key focus is on money laundering, terrorist financing and other forms of serious crimes.

They engage via in-person workshops to discuss their work and SARs reporting. Booking links can be found below.

They are also offering virtual workshops for small organisations with less than 5 employees. Which is particular helpful to sole practitioners, and small firms. To find out more see the link below.

Why is this of interest?

Well, SARs have a wider reach, than those in-scope of the Money Laundering Regulations.
