Quick answer

Keep a dated record of each relevant person's AML training, topics, provider or trainer, assessment result, role relevance, follow-up and refresher date. Training should reflect the person's work and the firm's actual risk exposure.

What should the training log prove?

It should show relevant training was delivered, understood and refreshed.

Attendance alone does not prove that role-specific learning needs were addressed.

Send this from Remindoo

Save it once in Remindoo and send it from there. Store the wording as an email template, then use tokens so client names, company numbers and dates fill in automatically. Send it to one client or to a filtered group with bulk client emails. For requests that repeat, pair it with automated reminders and a recurring task so it goes out every period without anyone remembering.

What are the common mistakes?

  • Recording attendance only
  • No role relevance
  • No assessment
  • No refresher action
“Automated reminders and task templates save countless hours each week.”

Why knowing what each employee is working on matters

In a growing practice, the partner can no longer hold every job in their head. Clear ownership and visible workload are what stop deadlines slipping when someone is on leave, busy or new.

Clear ownership

Every client and task has a named person, so nothing sits unassigned and clients get consistent answers.

Balanced workload

Seeing tasks per person helps managers move work before one person is overloaded and another is waiting.

Cover for absence

When work, notes and history live in one system, a colleague can pick up a job without starting from scratch.

Controlled access

Roles and permissions keep sensitive client and AML data visible only to people who need it.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Group people into teams around services or client portfolios, and name a Team Lead for each.
  • Review the employee task breakdown weekly, not only when a deadline is missed.
  • Give new starters a limited role first, then widen access as they are trained.
  • Use bulk reassignment when someone leaves or goes on holiday, rather than moving tasks one by one.
