An additional evidential layer is needed to demonstrate that it has remained unchanged since it was examined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In October 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) was designated as the future single supervisor for legal professionals, accountants and trust and company service providers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since 1 September 2025, the \"failure to prevent fraud\" offence has made it necessary for businesses to demonstrate which prevention procedures were in place at the time of the relevant events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A qualified electronic timestamp under the eIDAS framework benefits from a legal presumption of accuracy of the date and integrity of the data in the UK, strengthening the evidential value of supporting documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which laws govern Anti-Money Laundering controls in the UK?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK's anti-money laundering framework is based on two complementary pieces of legislation. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 establishes criminal money laundering offences and requires professionals in the regulated sector to report transactions they suspect involve the proceeds of crime. The Money Laundering Regulations (MLR) 2017 operate at an earlier stage, imposing preventive controls that apply regardless of whether any suspicious activity has been identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter legislation governs the day-to-day compliance activities of regulated businesses and has recently been amended. Changes that came into force on 30 June 2026 align the UK regime more closely with the lists maintained by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the intergovernmental body responsible for setting international anti-money laundering standards. Mandatory enhanced due diligence is refocused on countries appearing on the FATF blacklist, the trigger for scrutiny of complex transactions shifts towards unusually complex transactions, and thresholds previously expressed in euros are converted into pounds sterling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three obligations underpin the framework, each requiring documentary evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Money laundering risk assessments (Regulation 18):<\/strong> businesses must identify the money laundering risks associated with their activities and maintain an up-to-date written assessment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer due diligence (Regulations 27 and 28):<\/strong> commonly referred to as Know Your Customer (KYC), this involves identifying customers, verifying their identity, understanding the nature of the business relationship and establishing the source of funds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Record-keeping (Regulation 40):<\/strong> businesses must retain documents obtained through customer due diligence and records that allow transactions to be reconstructed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the legislation does not specify how businesses should demonstrate the condition of these documents when a regulator requests them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which businesses are subject to AML requirements and who supervises them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MLR 2017 use the term \"relevant persons\" to describe businesses operating in the UK whose activities are considered exposed to money laundering risks. These include banks and financial institutions, cryptoasset service providers, legal and accountancy professionals, estate agents, casinos, high-value dealers and art market participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supervision of these different sectors has historically been decentralised in the UK. Three public authorities share responsibility: the Financial Conduct Authority for financial services, HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) for certain accountancy professionals and trust and company service providers, and the Gambling Commission for casinos. In addition, 22 professional bodies supervise their own members, applying different methods and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This structure is changing. In October 2025, the UK government decided to transfer supervision of legal professionals, accountancy professionals and trust and company service providers to the FCA, without setting a precise deadline. The transition is expected to take several years. Nevertheless, affected businesses would benefit from preparing now, as the FCA applies stricter documentary requirements during inspections than many professional supervisory bodies. A law firm currently supervised by its professional body could eventually fall under the same regulator that fined Nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are Anti-Money Laundering and fraud prevention closely connected?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1 September 2025, large UK organisations can be held criminally liable for fraud committed for their benefit by an associated person, even where senior management was unaware of the misconduct. The \"failure to prevent fraud\" offence, introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, covers specific forms of misconduct, including false representations, failure to disclose information, abuse of position, false accounting and fraudulent tax practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An organisation has a defence if it can demonstrate that reasonable fraud prevention procedures were in place. These procedures are assessed as they existed at the time of the offence, rather than at the time of an investigation. A business may therefore need to demonstrate, three or four years later, which procedures applied when the fraud occurred. Without secure archiving, establishing that a document produced during an investigation is identical to the version that existed at the relevant time can prove difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both regulatory regimes form part of the wider effort to combat financial crime. Anti-money laundering rules require businesses to retain evidence of their checks, while fraud prevention requirements call for records of the procedures in place. In both cases, an organisation's position depends on what it can demonstrate years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evidency.io\/en\/document-fraud-risks\/\">Document fraud<\/a> illustrates the same problem at an earlier stage. A <a href=\"https:\/\/evidency.io\/en\/document-fraud-detection-in-business\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/evidency.io\/en\/document-fraud-detection-in-business\/\">falsified proof of address<\/a> or bank details altered between transmission and receipt can undermine due diligence without anyone noticing. The failure may only come to light during a regulatory inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retaining documents is not enough to demonstrate compliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulation 40 requires customer due diligence records to be retained for five years. This period begins when the business relationship ends, not when it starts. Confusing these two dates can lead businesses to delete records that are still subject to statutory retention requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two categories of records are covered: documents obtained during customer due diligence and records necessary to reconstruct a transaction. This requirement to reconstruct transactions is central to regulatory inspections. Businesses must be able to trace a transaction from beginning to end, from the customer's initial instruction through to payment, creating a compliance audit trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retaining a document demonstrates that it exists, but not that its contents have remained unchanged. A regulator may want to establish when each document was added to a customer file and whether it is still identical to the version originally reviewed. Simply storing a file in a software system does not, in itself, provide that assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can businesses strengthen the evidential value of documents during an inspection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three questions arise for every document in a customer due diligence file. When was it added to the file? What was its exact content at that time? Can the business demonstrate that it has not been altered since?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without reliable answers, a document may provide supporting information, but its evidential reliability can be challenged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evidency.io\/en\/qualified-timestamping\/\">Qualified electronic timestamping<\/a> addresses the first two questions. It associates a document with a verifiable date and time and a cryptographic fingerprint of its contents, making it possible to verify whether the document has subsequently been altered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evidency.io\/en\/electronic-archiving\/\">Electronic archiving with evidential value<\/a> addresses the third question by preserving the integrity and accessibility of the records throughout the five-year retention period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electronic seals serve a different purpose. They can be applied to documents generated by the business itself, such as risk assessments or due diligence reports, to establish their origin and integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These mechanisms also have legal effects in the UK, which retained provisions of the eIDAS Regulation in domestic law and recognises qualified trust services provided in the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an AML software vendor, this is a feature to integrate rather than an entirely new area of expertise to develop. Connecting to a qualified trust service provider through an API, for example, enables the software to incorporate independent evidence of document integrity and timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vendor does not become a trust service provider itself and does not automatically fall within the associated supervisory framework. Its customers can produce independently verifiable records during regulatory inspections instead of relying solely on the reliability of their internal archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evidence also remains under the customer's control. A timestamped and sealed document can retain its evidential value even if the organisation changes software providers, whereas an application log may no longer be accessible once the contract ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Services such as those offered by Evidency allow software vendors to integrate this evidential layer into their existing compliance solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best practices for demonstrating AML compliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AML compliance requirements can be translated into a series of practical measures aligned with the customer due diligence process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Timestamp each version of the risk assessment.<\/strong> Regulation 18 requires businesses to maintain an up-to-date assessment without expressly requiring them to retain every previous version. However, an investigation into historical events may require evidence of which assessment applied at the time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preserve the customer due diligence file when onboarding is completed,<\/strong> rather than allowing the original records to be overwritten by subsequent updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distinguish between documents received and documents issued.<\/strong> Incoming documents require verification and evidence of their condition when received, while internally generated documents should be protected from the moment they are issued.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calculate retention periods from the end of the business relationship,<\/strong> rather than from the date the customer was onboarded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integrate an evidential layer throughout the process:<\/strong> timestamp incoming documents, apply electronic seals to documents issued by the business and preserve records through secure electronic archiving for the required retention period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: AML compliance depends on reliable evidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulatory inspections assess the checks carried out by a business, but demonstrating compliance also depends on the availability and integrity of the records supporting those checks. Reliable evidence should therefore be created at the time the verification takes place, when the document is still available in the exact condition in which it was examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For AML <a href=\"https:\/\/evidency.io\/en\/use-case-software-publishers\/\">software vendors<\/a>, this represents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Their customers increasingly need more than effective alerts and screening tools. They also need records that can withstand regulatory scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidency supports software providers looking to integrate this evidential layer into their solutions, helping them strengthen their products and deliver additional value to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Disclaimer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The opinions, presentations, figures and estimates set forth on the website including in the blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice.
