ACSP ID Verification V AML ID Verification – Understanding The Differences (Partner Webinar)

PARTNER WEBINAR

This webinar has been planned and delivered in conjunction with one or more of our valued third-party partners. All such webinars are subject to our quality control procedures to ensure relevant learning objectives are set and met, alongside any product demonstration.

OBJECTIVES

Mandatory identity verification for company directors and PSCs came into force on 18 November 2025, reshaping how accountants manage onboarding and compliance. Practices acting as ACSPs will be able to run identity checks on behalf of clients, but the rules differ from standard AML requirements. This webinar will help you clarify what’s changing, what ACSPs must do and how the phased rollout of the new Companies House regime will affect your practice.

Danielle Fisher (Product Manager, Sage) will also show how Sage for Accountants brings AML compliance and client verification into one connected workflow, helping practices stay compliant, reduce risk, and simplify processes from onboarding to filing.
