Money Laundering Forms
About the Forms
To comply with the Money Laundering Regulations we are required to obtain proof of identity from all our clients in accordance with specific guidelines. We are only able to act upon instructions once we have obtained the necessary documents from our clients. Unless there is a clear agreement with your firm that we will form a client relationship with your firm’s client, or unless we come into contact with and/or enter into dialogue with your firm’s clients, your firm will be our client. If your firm is a prospective client, may we therefore please ask you to:
1) Download, print and complete the appropriate forms (see below);
2) Attach the requested documentation to them; and
3) Return the forms and documents to us.
Once we have made copies of the original documents for our records, we will return the originals to you.
Introducer’s Certificate
In cases where our involvement is also with your firm’s client, your client will also be subject to these money laundering procedures. It may be possible for us to rely on your firm’s ‘customer due diligence’ on the client. Please refer to paragraphs 5.33 – 5.41 of The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies’ ‘Anti-Money Laundering Guidance for the Accountancy Sector’. If your customer due diligence is sufficient for these purposes, please download, print and complete the Introducer’s Certificate below, before returning it to us.
