Location Manchester Team: Business Acceptance Working pattern: Hybrid, 2 days in the office The BAU is responsible for running conflict checks and ensuring the firm is compliant with its regulatory obligations, including those set out in the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The team provide a business critical service which offers global coverage seven days a week. The BAU assistants are responsible for the internal communication between BAU and the wider business. They are the first port of contact for anyone in the wider firm who seek BAU support, actioning administrative tasks, responding to emails and covering our BAU telephone line. The firm should not accept an instruction or form a business relationship with a client until the correct checks and analysis have been completed by BAU. It is therefore essential that we are sufficiently staffed to enable a quick and consistent turnaround time for each office as the firm continues to expand. It is crucial the BAU is staffed with an adequate number of Analysts and assistants to undertake this time sensitive work. Failure to operate effectively and efficiently can result in regulatory breaches, loss of instructions and delays to time recording and billing.
