🇬🇧 Election Day in the UK 🇬🇧 There are certainly more pressing things on the agendas of all political parties, but it is worth giving the spotlight to what some of the parties are saying about AML legislation, and it doesn't look like it's going to step out of the spotlight in future governments (whichever way it goes) 👀 Here's what was highlighted after doing some investigation of the parties' manifestos 🏛️ 🔵 Conservatives: Focused on addressing unclear political donations and ensuring better transparency. 🔴 Labour: Advocating for tougher AML measures, calling current policies "weak." 🟠 Liberal Democrats: Pushing for enhanced Electoral Commission powers to regulate donations. 🟢 Green Party: Supporting more rigorous due diligence in political donations. 🌕 Scottish National Party: Aiming to align with EU AML standards for stronger cross-border efforts. This was just one of the things we discussed in our regular monthly AML question & answer session with David Winch yesterday 🗳️✨, but there were plenty of other topics on the lips of everyone – if you want to catch up on the latest edition you can find everything you need in our latest blog 📖! https://hubs.ly/Q02Fmn-F0 #ElectionDay #AML #Compliance
