According to the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives (AMLD), financial, tax, and business advisors are also obligated entities.
However, client risk assessment is not only a legal obligation for obligated companies under the anti-money laundering law but also a significant time investment.
Accountants, lawyers, and other obligated persons spend an average of 10-12 hours per month on client background checks and documentation management.
