In January 2024 alone, reports were published about the SRA taking enforcement action against 3 firms and 4 individuals for failure to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The fines issued for these non-compliances total over £570,000 plus costs. The absence of staff training, or requirement to complete additional training, was noted in a number of these cases. As a manager of a law firm, or more crucially an MLRO or MLCO, the ultimate responsibility for the firm's compliance, including with the MLR 2017, lies with you. It is your responsibility to ensure that the firm puts in place, reviews and updates compliant policies, controls and procedures. You must ensure that the firm maintains an up to date practice wide risk assessment. You are required to ensure that your employees are regularly given training on the MLR 2017 and associated risks. If a breach occurs, the SRA will take a wider look at the firm and identify any supervisory deficiencies that may have contributed to failures by fee earners or support staff. It has proven that it will not shy away from holding to account managers, compliance officers and MLRO/MLCOs for failures by their firms to comply with requirements of the MLR 2017. This course will cover the following to assist firms MLROs, MLCOs and Management with fulfilling their AML management responsibilities: How to comply with your obligations and stay compliant FWRA – linked with PCPs Mandatory AML Policies and Procedures - SRA have concerns Training and supervising staff Audits SRA requirements Reporting SARS POCA/TA Fulfilling reporting officer and compliance officer duties Target Audience The online course is suitable for MLROs, MLCOs, firm management and those supporting these roles.

🌟 Hypnotherapists’ Workshop Day: The Eazzy Slim System & The Hypnotic Gastric Band 🌟 Date: 21st of June | Location: Online (Zoom) | Time: 10 am till 4 pm Are you ready to expand your weight-loss toolkit with powerful, non-invasive techniques that create real and lasting change? Join us for an immersive one-day workshop where we’ll explore the full potential of the Eazzy Slim Programme — a structured, proven system designed specifically for hypnotherapists to help clients achieve sustainable weight loss without the need for medication or surgery. 🔍 What You'll Learn: The Hypno-No-Jab Approach: Discover how to offer clients a highly effective hypnotic alternative to pharmaceutical weight-loss injections like Mounjaro or Ozempic especially important given rising concerns over side effects, long-term use, and the controversial decision to make these drugs available to children. Hypnotic Gastric Band: Learn how to safely and ethically guide clients through a hypnotic gastric band process, mimicking the physical sensation and psychological impact of surgery without any of the risks. The Psychology of Sustainable Change: Explore how to leverage hypnotherapy to reshape beliefs, habits, and identity around eating, self-worth, and health. 🧠 Why It Matters: While medications like Mounjaro can offer temporary results, they often come with side effects, dependency risks, and rebound weight gain once stopped. Likewise, gastric band surgery, once a popular bariatric option, has seen a sharp decline due to its high rate of complications, reoperations, and limited long-term success. Our clients are looking for something different. Something safe. Natural. Sustainable. Empowering.
