AML Training Programme, Staff Briefing and Knowledge Test

About this document

What it’s for

Regulation 24 requires firms to make relevant employees aware of the law on money laundering, terrorist financing and data protection, and to train them regularly in recognising and dealing with suspicious transactions. Supervisors check both the training record and the training materials. This document gives you a training plan, briefing notes you can deliver in about an hour, a knowledge test with model answers, and the record to keep.

When to use it

  • On induction, before new staff handle client work
  • Annual refresher training for everyone
  • After a change in the law, the manual or the firm-wide risk assessment

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Training plan
  • Part 2 – Briefing notes: the law
  • Part 3 – Briefing notes: our procedures and red flags
  • Part 4 – Knowledge test (model answers)
  • Part 5 – Training record

How to complete it

  • Tailor the briefing notes to your firm’s manual, risk assessment and recent cases
  • Give staff the test without the model answers (Part 4) and mark it
  • Record attendance and results in Part 5 and keep the materials used

Key points to check

  • Updated for the Money Laundering Regulations as amended by SI 2026/621 and the CCAB 2026 guidance
  • Tailor it to your firm before use
