Do You Want Peace of Mind and to Avoid Legal Penalties?

All employers are required to make appropriate document checks to establish an individual applicant’s identity and right to work in the UK. Failure to do so makes an employer liable to a civil penalty of up to £20,000 per employee, potential closure of business, fines and imprisonment. This does not take account of the reputational damage that can be caused by failing to make the necessary checks.

Landlords and their agents now have the responsibility to conduct checks on their prospective tenants before that tenant can take up occupancy, failure to do so brings with it the risk of stringent penalties.

Organisations who fail to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations increase their risk of financial loss and damage to their business as well as facing significant penalties and could even face prosecution for offences under the –

  • Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
  • Terrorism Act 2000
