AML & identity verification
Built-In AML and Identity Verification for Accountants
Complete client risk assessments, start digital identity checks and monitor every verification stage from one connected client record. Remindoo emails the client a secure verification invitation, and you track the result without leaving Remindoo.
Built for UK accountants, bookkeepers and growing accountancy practices.
Built directly into Remindoo — with no separate AML platform or external provider login required.
Manage AML from the Client Record
AML software for accountants helps a practice assess client risk, verify identity and keep a record of due diligence. In Remindoo, all of this sits inside each client profile.
- Open Risk Assessment and AML from the client record
- Complete an internal AML risk assessment and view the risk level
- Start a digital verification session and choose a package
- Email the verification request to the client
- Monitor progress, review the outcome and track history
- Monitor dates, spot missing or expired checks and use continuous monitoring
Complete a Structured AML Risk Assessment
An AML risk assessment is a documented review of the money-laundering risk a client presents. Remindoo gives you a structured questionnaire to answer and save for each client.
- Persistent or unlikely errors in tax returns
- Missing proof of address
- High turnover from small business locations
- Proposed use of the firm’s bank for transactions
- Accounts in foreign currencies
- Dramatic increases in turnover
- Changes in business activity
- Whether the client has been met
- Overseas client
- Cash-based business
- Unverified identification
- Whether the risk level is high
- Complex group structures
- Lack of evidence of trade
- Intra-group trading
- Transactions without an obvious purpose
The answers support a documented risk assessment. The final decision stays with the accountant.
See Each Client’s AML Risk Level
- Low Risk
- Medium Risk
- High Risk
- AML Missing
Indicators help you find clients needing attention, spot missing assessments, prioritise higher-risk cases and oversee your whole portfolio. A risk level doesn't by itself guarantee compliance.
Send Digital AML Checks to Clients
Digital KYC verification lets a client prove who they are online. You start it in Remindoo, the client completes it from an emailed link, and you track it in Remindoo — no other platform to sign in to.
1. Start the verification
Open the client’s AML area and create a new digital verification session.
2. Select the required checks
Choose the KYC, AML or proof-of-address package.
3. Email the client
Remindoo sends the client an email containing the verification invitation.
4. Client completes the checks
The client follows the link and completes the checks remotely.
5. Track the result
Monitor the session and result in the client’s verification history.
6. Continue monitoring
Enable continuous monitoring when the client needs ongoing AML screening.

- Search sessions and filter by status
- Count for each status and additional filters

- AML risk level
These fields help your team spot upcoming reviews, missing information and expired checks.
Continuous AML Monitoring
Continuous AML monitoring keeps screening a client after onboarding, so changes can be flagged for review rather than relying on a one-off check.
- Supports ongoing monitoring after initial verification
- Keeps visibility over changes needing review
- Reduces reliance on one-off onboarding checks
- Supports ongoing client due diligence
- Stays connected to the client record
It doesn't guarantee every risk is detected, replace periodic client reviews or replace professional judgement.
Monitor AML Across the Client Portfolio
AML risk level, digital-verification status and verification dates can appear in the main Clients list alongside client status, type and responsible staff, with search, sorting, filters and column controls.

Why recording AML checks properly matters
UK accountants must follow the Money Laundering Regulations and their supervisor's guidance. If a check is not recorded, supervisors will generally treat it as not done.
Evidence for your supervisor
Dated ID checks and risk assessments on each client file are what a supervisor asks to see during a review.
Consistent risk scoring
A standard risk assessment means every client is judged the same way, whoever onboarded them.
Ongoing monitoring
Reminders for periodic reviews help keep checks current rather than done once and forgotten.
Faster onboarding
Built-in digital ID and AML checks in Remindoo reduce back-and-forth with new clients.
Practical tips from UK practice
- Complete identity checks and a risk assessment before starting chargeable work.
- Set review dates by risk level, with higher-risk clients reviewed more often.
- Record the reason for each risk rating, not just the rating.
- Check your supervisor's current guidance, as requirements can change.
