Some key takeaways:

➡️ Identifying suspicious activities early can protect your agency from future legal troubles.
Some great moments:
✅ “If you’re registered and have a clear AML policy, you’re already a step ahead.”
✅ “We try and do two or three suspicious activity reports a year; if any red flag arises, it's sure to be followed.”
✅ “Half the agents aren’t downloading titles on land registry; without this, you’re partly flying blind on ownership checks.”
