ABOUT US

Justinian PT was formed seven years ago to provide specialist professional training in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) compliance.

Offering both public and in-house courses, Justinian PT is authorised by the Law Society of England and Wales for CPD points.

There has been enormous change in AML and CFT law and practice in recent years, and the evolutionary process is still continuing. The Money Laundering Regulations 2003 have been replaced by the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 which implement the EC's Third Directive on Money Laundering.

The aftermath of September 11 has seen the elision of concerns to identify the source of terrorist funding with the suspicious activity reporting requirement under the anti-money laundering legislation.

 

"A relevant person must (a) determine the extent of customer due diligence measures on a risk-sensitive basis depending on the type of customer, business relationship, product or transaction, and (b) be able to demonstrate to his supervisory authority that the extent of the measures is appropriate in view of the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing" - regulation 7(3) Money Laundering Regulations 2007

"These Regulations will strengthen further the UK's defences against money laundering and terrorist finance. In line with the Government's financial crime strategy these Regulations introduce tough and targeted new measures where the risks are greatest and at the same time ensure that businesses and consumers in low risk situations face fewer burdens than previously” – Kitty Ussher, Economic Secretary to HM Treasury, 25.7.07
