News & Updates
In brief: Daily UK compliance news feed (HMRC, OFSI, FCA, ICAEW, JMLSG) plus Certivus product updates.
A curated live feed of UK AML and financial-crime news plus Certivus product updates, surfaced inside the dashboard so you do not have to maintain a folder of regulator bookmarks.
Where to find it
Dashboard → News & Updates tab.
What it shows
A reverse-chronological list of items pulled daily from official UK sources. Each card shows the title, source badge, publication date and a short summary. Click any item to open the original article on the publisher's site.
A NEW pill appears next to every item published after the last time you hit Mark all as read. The tab itself shows an unread count badge so you know at a glance when something has landed.
Where the news comes from
| Source | What we surface |
|---|---|
| HMRC | AML supervision notices, guidance updates, fee changes |
| OFSI | Sanctions designations, consolidated-list updates |
| FCA | Statements, Dear-CEO letters, enforcement themes relevant to AML |
| ICAEW | AML guidance for accountants |
| JMLSG | Part I / II guidance amendments approved by HM Treasury |
| NCA | SARs trends, intelligence alerts |
| Certivus Product | Releases, new features, behavioural changes |
We only consume official feeds the regulators publish for syndication. Headlines and short summaries are stored locally so the tab stays fast even when the source site is slow; the full article always lives on the source. We never paraphrase regulator wording — that prevents accidental misrepresentation of what the regulator actually said.
How often it refreshes
The fetcher runs once a day at 04:17 UTC. Items are deduplicated by
URL so re-runs never create duplicates. If you ever need an on-demand
refresh, a platform admin can trigger the fetch-compliance-news-cron
edge function manually.
Mark all as read
Clicking Mark all as read stamps your account's "last seen" marker to the current time. From that moment on, only items published after that stamp are flagged NEW. Each user has their own marker — marking read on your account does not affect a colleague's view.
Source filter
Use the source chips at the top to focus the feed on a single regulator, for example when preparing a sanctions review you might filter to OFSI only. The chip count updates live as you switch.
Why it matters
The MLR 2017 risk-based approach requires firms to keep their AML controls "current". Demonstrating that you actively track regulator output — and that staff have read it — is part of the supervisor's expectation. Pairing this feed with the Annual MLRO Report (which already cites supervisory updates) closes the loop.
