What an SRA AML review asks to see

Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a firm — which is exactly why the evidence file matters. The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 set the same standing expectations for every supervised law firm, whoever the supervisor:

Registered with an AML supervisor
MLR 2017, Part 6
A review asks to see: Your registration — the SRA (or HMRC, for the minority of legal-sector businesses it supervises) checks its own register; this page shows your entry.
Firm-wide risk assessment
MLR 2017, reg 18
A review asks to see: A written, dated risk assessment specific to your practice areas — not an undated template.
Policies, controls & procedures
MLR 2017, reg 19
A review asks to see: A written PCP document proportionate to your size, kept up to date and evidenced to fee-earners and staff.
Nominated officer (MLRO)
MLR 2017, reg 21
A review asks to see: The appointment on record, and staff knowing who receives internal reports.
Client due diligence + ongoing monitoring
MLR 2017, regs 27–28
A review asks to see: A per-client/per-matter file: identity verified, screening outcome, risk level, and reg 28(11) ongoing monitoring with a dated record every run — a documented "no change" is evidence.
Staff training
MLR 2017, reg 24
A review asks to see: A log of who was trained, when, and on what — awareness undocumented is awareness unproven.
Record-keeping
MLR 2017, reg 40
A review asks to see: CDD records retained five years and retrievable — scattered inboxes and case files fail this in practice.

Quick answers

Is NEWBYS regulated by the SRA?

On the Solicitors Regulation Authority's register of regulated organisations, NEWBYS appears as a regulated firm (SRA number 63186), authorisation status "YES". Every solicitors' firm offering reserved legal activities must be authorised by the SRA. This is drawn from the SRA's own public register; the register itself is the authoritative record, and regulatory decisions are the SRA's alone. If any detail is out of date, email hello@firmguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.

What does an AML review expect of NEWBYS?

The same as for every supervised law firm: a written, dated firm-wide risk assessment; policies, controls and procedures; a nominated officer (MLRO); a per-client/per-matter due-diligence file with identity verified and ongoing monitoring recorded; a staff-training log; and records kept for five years and retrievable. Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a firm — which is why the evidence file matters. This describes the standing duties in the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, not an assessment of this firm.
