Navigating UK Anti-Money Laundering Regulations: What South African Businesses Need to Know

Join a discussion on the international anti-money laundering framework and the impact it can have for South African businesses, professionals, and investors operating in the UK.

Led by Cormac Mannion, a regulatory solicitor at Streathers Solicitors, this discussion will explore the role of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), how countries are identified and designated as high-risk jurisdictions, and how those designations are implemented within the UK regulatory system.

With South Africa having faced increased international scrutiny in recent years, the talk will examine the real-world consequences for individuals and companies connected to higher-risk countries – including enhanced due diligence, banking restrictions, transactional delays, reputational concerns, and cross-border compliance challenges.

Cormac will also be providing an update on the new Companies House ID verification requirements introduced under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
