29 Sep 2023 ADM Investor Services International LimitedFCA: £6.47 million against ADM Investor Services over outdated AML controls United KingdomInternal controls €7.48m

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed £6,470,600 (after a 30% discount) because, between September 2014 and October 2016, the derivatives broker had only a rudimentary customer risk assessment, no firm-wide money laundering risk assessment and no adequate ongoing monitoring; its policies referred to outdated legislation. The FCA had already raised concerns in 2014.

What organisations can take from it

Policies that refer to repealed legislation are a sure sign of a dead AML programme.
