AML-supervised
Anti-money-laundering supervision
Accountancy firms must be supervised for anti-money laundering — by HMRC, or (as here) by an approved professional body. Professional-body-supervised firms carry the same Money Laundering Regulations 2017 duties as HMRC-supervised ones. Source: Companies House ACSP register / the firm's professional-body registration.

What a professional-body AML monitoring visit asks to see
Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a
practice — which is exactly why the evidence file matters. The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 set the same
standing expectations for every supervised accountancy firm, whoever the supervisor:
Registered with an AML supervisor
MLR 2017, Part 6
A review asks to see: Your registration — HMRC 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 — 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 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 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 fail this in practice.
Quick answers
Is Hunt & Thorne Limited registered for anti-money-laundering supervision?
Hunt & Thorne Limited is supervised for anti-money laundering by an approved professional body, rather than by HMRC. Professional-body-supervised firms carry the same Money Laundering Regulations 2017 duties as HMRC-supervised ones, and face the same client, bank and monitoring-visit scrutiny. This is drawn from public registration records. If any detail is out of date, email hello@practiceguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.
What does an AML review expect of Hunt & Thorne Limited?
The same as for every supervised accountancy firm: a written, dated firm-wide risk assessment; policies, controls and procedures; a nominated officer (MLRO); a per-client 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 practice — which is why the evidence file matters. This describes the standing duties in the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, not an assessment of this firm.
Is Hunt & Thorne Limited on the HMRC published-penalties list?
Yes — Hunt & Thorne Limited appears on the GOV.UK published-penalties list ("Businesses that have not complied with the Money Laundering Regulations"), most recently for the 2018-2019 period. This is HMRC's own public disclosure and cannot be removed. It is a matter of public record, not a PracticeGuard judgement. The strongest answer to a past finding is a complete, dated evidence file going forward. If you believe this entry is wrong, email hello@practiceguard.uk.
