"My past experience of AML seminars was that I left with a headache and really wanted to throw in the towel.  The IFA webinar on AML could not have been any further away from this. The presenters were knowledgeable while realistic as to our current pressures... AML was a constant worry in my mind but ... after these seminars and the offer of help from the team I am on my way to being fully compliant and confident I have robust systems in place which protect me as an accountant."

- Jean Connor, Connor Accountants & Advisors

"As a practice we have made the decision to completely revamp our practices anti-money laundering processes and procedures to incorporate an improved new updated system incorporating recommendations arising from the IFA’s webinar series and to utilise the latest software available."
