I’m an AAT Licensed Accountant and am looking to take on a Parochial Church Council (PCC), which is a non-excepted charity, for bookkeeping services.
Before proceeding, I would like clarification on the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements for this type of client:
Who do I need to carry out AML ID checks on, for example, should this include all committee members, specific officeholders (such as the treasurer or churchwarden), or only those with financial control or signing authority?
Some of the committee members are elderly and do not have standard photo ID (e.g. a driving licence or passport). Could you please advise what acceptable alternative forms of identification or verification methods can be used in these cases? I have been sent a bus pass for one of the committee members and obviously this isn’t sufficient.
I want to ensure I comply fully with AAT’s AML requirements before engaging the client.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
