Who is the training for?

Lawyers, law firm employees and professionals who work with the AMLR for the first time.

What prior knowledge do you need?

No AMLR prior knowledge required; experience with mandate acceptance and file installation help to get started.

Your concrete added value

You will have understandable access to the European rules without rewriting your previous practice. With new mandates, you can ask more specifically for activity, stakeholders and documents and explicitly state the correct time of examination.

Introduction · Engagement, scope of activity and date of assessment

That's what you're working on in this training.

Check Today to Prepare the Conversion
You distinguish the currently relevant German GwG from the future AMLR scale. On a timeline you order entry into force and general application of the 10. July 2027 and see a practice case with a clear exam date.
Capture the concrete attorney's order
You compare a process representation, a business start-up and the supervision of a real estate purchase. At the original text, you will examine the activity of the obliged group and specify which information is missing about the order before selecting a test path.
Create a usable source file
You separate client, acting agent, beneficial owner and designated payer. In the training software you create a role overview, assign existing evidence and mark open information without deducing any suspicion from a gap.

Your learning goals

Detach the German baseline and the future AMLR application.
Determine the content of the mandate before selecting an audit question.
Identify representation, ownership and payment as different roles.
Create an understandable list of the documents needed first.

From knowledge to a well-founded case solution.

Fictional practice case · Lawyers

Real estate purchase with a foreign payer

A German law firm is to accompany the acquisition of a commercial property. The buyer company designates its managing director as contact person; a related company is to pay the purchase price. You present the roles and justify your first questions.

In focus: Activity, roles and cleanly defined legal status.

Your Exercise

You process three short mandate requests and decide which information is needed first. After that, you explain to your practice partner why a mere professional title is not sufficient for the selection of the test path.

Your work result and proof of participation

A brief with an examination date, a description of the activities, a summary of the participants and prioritized queries.

How this relates to your daily work

The developed structure supports an understandable handover between lawyer and law firm staff. You can specifically check existing recording forms for gaps and specify change needs for the AMLR preparation.

Test format

Optional performance assessment: short knowledge test and justified assignment of a new mandate case.

Your exam task

This is what the evaluation depends on.

Test time clearly
The content of the mandate is clearly classified
Questions of a factual nature

Documentation of the test performance

Request training with additional examination

Participation and examination performance remain recognizable.
