AML supervision in the UK refers to the oversight carried out by designated professional bodies and regulators to ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering legislation, particularly the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (as amended). For accountants, this supervision is typically handled by bodies such as the ICAEW, ACCA, ICAS, or HMRC for firms not regulated by a professional membership organisation.

Coverage includes updates on supervisory approaches, inspection findings, thematic reviews, and enforcement actions. Editorial reporting also examines the expectations placed on supervised firms, including risk assessments, policies and procedures, staff training, and Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) obligations. Developments in supervisory cooperation, information-sharing between agencies, and the use of technology in compliance monitoring are also explored.
