You all know by now, Law firms are considered accountable institutions in several countries due to their obligations under anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) regulations.
These include:
South Africa: Governed by the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), law firms must comply with strict AML/CFT measures, including client due diligence and reporting suspicious transactions.
Mauritius: Under the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act (FIAMLA), law firms are required to meet AML/CFT obligations.
United Kingdom: Law firms are regulated under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) and Money Laundering Regulations, with similar compliance requirements.
European Union Member States: Countries like Germany, France, Italy, and Spain implement AML laws aligned with EU directives, which apply to legal professionals.
United States: Law firms must adhere to AML regulations enforced by agencies like FinCEN and the Department of Justice.
Indonesia: The Anti-Money Laundering Law imposes reporting and due diligence obligations on law firms as designated non-financial businesses.
