“All Too Familiar” - A Powerful Training Tool

“All Too Familiar” depicts a scenario where a few missed due diligence checks become something altogether more serious, demonstrating the creep of poor practice towards genuine financial misconduct. The piece aims to challenge mindsets and provoke discussion on the need for greater professional scepticism when faced with potential money laundering risks. It’s a reminder that professional standards must always be applied when dealing with the very serious matter of your clients’ business.

The ICAEW has the following to say about this important resource:

“The impact of money laundering is devastating; it allows the proceeds of crime to be washed through legitimate bank accounts or businesses and funds other serious crimes such as modern slavery, drug trafficking, fraud, corruption, and terrorism. Our aim in producing this film is to help make firms more aware of how they might inadvertently assist economic crime by providing services to businesses which are laundering money or engaged in other illegal activity. In the film, we see that even longstanding clients might change how they generate their income, and this change could so easily be overlooked or dismissed due to the trust in the relationship which suppresses any sceptical thoughts.”
