Pre Employment Screening

Background and Pre Employment Screening

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) states that when an individual is a 'regulated person' then their employer, as part of its financial crime objectives, must screen applicants prior to entering the sector in order to protect consumers.

It is also common sense that any member of staff should be screened prior to joining the company, but also that the screening process should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis, be that annually or by whatever criteria is set through job-related risk assessment.

It therefore follows that, as part of any AML support process, pre-employment screening is a prerequisite for good business practice.

We provide a range of options for screening employees and those options vary according to their level of seniority.
