🖌️ The publication of the Government’s AML/CTF Supervision Reform consultation response marks a significant milestone for the accountancy profession and the wider AML supervisory framework.

The response confirms the Government’s intention for the PPI Complaints Deadline, Financial Conduct Authority to become the AML supervisor for accountancy, legal and trust and company service providers, creating a single supervisory model designed to deliver greater consistency, transparency and risk-based oversight across the sectors.

At the IAB, we have engaged closely throughout this process and welcome the clarity that this announcement provides for firms, members and the profession as a whole.

While the supervisory landscape is changing, the core principles remain the same. Strong compliance, robust systems, evidence-led decision making and a genuine understanding of risk will continue to be essential.

Over recent years, the IAB has invested heavily in preparing members for a more data-driven and outcomes-focused environment, including the development of AML Complete and the strengthening of our supervisory approach. These investments were made because we recognised the direction of travel and the increasing expectations being placed on firms.

📌 As further detail emerges on implementation and transition arrangements, we remain committed to supporting our members through the changes ahead and ensuring they are well positioned to operate successfully within the future framework.

We will be reviewing the consultation response in detail and will provide further updates and guidance to members in due course.

This week, the IAB was delighted to welcome officials from the Malaysian Government to London as we continue to strengthen our partnership and shared commitment to skills, education and employability.

We are particularly proud to have signed an agreement that will see IAB qualifications delivered across Malaysia, creating new opportunities for school leavers and young people to gain internationally recognised skills that lead directly to employment.

At a time when countries around the world are focused on workforce development, productivity, and economic growth, the ability to connect education with real career opportunities has never been more important.

This partnership is about much more than qualifications. It is about building pathways. Pathways that help young people develop practical, employer-focused skills, pathways that support businesses in finding talented and work-ready individuals, and pathways that contribute to long-term economic prosperity.

The collaboration also reflects the growing importance of international partnerships in education. By bringing together government, industry, and professional bodies, we can create solutions that respond directly to the needs of employers while opening doors for the next generation of professionals.

We would like to thank our Malaysian colleagues for their visit and for their continued commitment to developing future talent. We look forward to supporting learners across Malaysia and working together to create meaningful opportunities for young people for many years to come.
