- A personal message from David Winch
Some years ago a solicitor friend of mine suggested that I should take an interest in the money laundering and proceeds of crime legislation. I found it fascinating! Since then I have immersed myself in the subject and have developed a certain expertise both in my knowledge and understanding of the legislation and advising on its practical implications. Many professionals now approach me for specialist advice. Whilst this is obviously gratifying it does present me with “time” issues, there are only so many hours in the day and days in the week that I can offer my professional services to provide training and support.
This web site has been set up to manage my involvement in these issues. I can vouch that I personally sign off every opinion offered to MLRO’s as part of our “second-opinion” support services. I write and update the online procedure manuals available to subscribers – I also design and present all our training seminars, in-house or external.
My co-director in this endeavour is Bob Edwards, a Certified practitioner who deals with the practical administrative details of delivering the services we offer.
As a company we have taken a long term strategic decision to limit the number of professional firms that we act for, particularly those to whom we offer support services.
We will seek out new subscribers until we run out resources to maintain a hands on approach, and a high degree of professional expertise – back to my personal time issues.
If you are challenged by the rigours imposed by the legislation and would like the comfort of a one-stop support and training service, whatever your business sector, we may have solution for you. Certainly we are still interested in taking on new assignments as I write this message September 2007.
