FCS Compliance

About FCS Compliance

FCS Compliance helps firms regulated under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 stay inspection-ready: AML audits, firm-wide risk assessments, policies and procedures, CPD-certified training and fully outsourced customer due diligence. We work with estate agents, letting agents, sourcing and buying agents, art market participants, galleries, auction houses and high value dealers across the UK. WHAT CHANGED IN 2026 The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2026 came into force on 30 June 2026, and HMRC published its consolidated guidance manual on 8 July. Thresholds moved into sterling, mandatory geographic enhanced due diligence narrowed to the FATF Call for Action list, and HMRC now expressly expects training at least annually. If you have not reviewed your risk assessment, policies and training since then, that is where to start. HOW WE CAN HELP AML audits and mock HMRC inspections. Written policies and procedures under regulation 19. Firm-wide risk assessments under regulation 18. CPD-certified AML training from Foundation to MLRO level. Fully outsourced customer due diligence, including source of funds, PEP and sanctions screening and beneficial ownership. HMRC inspection support, file reviews and SAR consultancy.
