This webinar explores how Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs) can use Legl to maintain effective oversight across onboarding, monitoring, and payments. It focuses on visibility, auditability, and control mechanisms that support regulatory compliance and internal governance.
It is designed for MLROs, Compliance Officers, COLPs, and senior risk stakeholders responsible for AML frameworks and reporting.
What this covers
This webinar covers:
Oversight of client onboarding activity
Risk assessment visibility and control
Ongoing monitoring and alert management
Audit trails and reporting
Payment controls and financial crime risk management
How different areas of Legl connect to support MLRO responsibilities
This webinar does not provide legal advice or replace firm-specific AML policies.
How this works at a high level
Legl centralises client onboarding, risk assessment, monitoring, and payment activity into a single platform.
From an MLRO perspective:
Client due diligence (CDD) data is captured and stored in structured form
Risk assessments are documented, scored, and auditable
Ongoing monitoring alerts are surfaced for review and decision-making
Actions taken by users are recorded in a clear audit trail
Payment activity is tracked with full visibility over payer details and transaction status
This creates a controlled environment where oversight does not rely on manual tracking or dispersed systems.
The platform supports:
Real-time visibility over compliance activity
Clear allocation of responsibility
Documented decision-making
Evidence for internal review or regulatory inspection
When you would use this
You would reference the concepts covered in this webinar:
When reviewing your firm’s AML control framework
During internal audits or file reviews
When preparing for an SRA or regulatory inspection
When assessing whether onboarding and monitoring controls are effective
When improving reporting lines between compliance and fee earners
Key things to be aware of
Important: Legl provides the infrastructure and audit trail to support compliance, but regulatory decisions and risk acceptance always sit with your firm.
Important: MLRO oversight relies on correct configuration of workflows, permissions, and review processes within your firm.
Key considerations:
Risk assessments must be reviewed and approved in line with firm policy
Ongoing monitoring alerts require documented decisions
Payment controls should align with your internal financial crime procedures
Access permissions should reflect segregation of duties
