AML software resources for UK accountants and law firms
Practical buying guidance for firms replacing spreadsheets, manual checks, and disconnected evidence folders.
What to weigh when comparing AML software
Most AML tools verify identity and screen against lists. The differences that matter in practice sit elsewhere: whether the evidence is retained in a form an inspector can follow, whether re-screening happens automatically when lists change, how false positives are reviewed and recorded, and whether the audit trail reconstructs a decision months later without someone remembering it.
The question behind the question
Firms usually start by comparing feature lists and end up choosing on inspection readiness. A tool that produces a clean check but leaves the reasoning in an email thread has moved the compliance problem rather than solved it.
Where to start
If you are scoping a purchase, the comparison material covers list coverage, re-screening, false-positive handling, and audit trails. If you are trying to justify replacing a manual process, the record-keeping material sets out what an inspector actually asks to see.
