🚨 Tech Roundup: ICAEW Practice Assurance. AML. Cyber Security.

ICAEW's latest Practice Assurance Monitoring Report highlights a familiar challenge for many firms: compliance gaps continue to emerge in the same key areas year after year.

Money laundering regulations remain the most common area of non compliance, while engagement letters, client communication, clients' money regulations, and professional indemnity insurance continue to feature prominently in review findings.

The report also places a strong spotlight on cyber security. While most firms demonstrate strong technical controls, governance and supplier risk management remain areas requiring greater attention.

Looking ahead, ICAEW's 2026 focus areas will include Professional Conduct in Relation to Taxation (PCRT) and working with vulnerable clients.

The message is clear: strong governance, proactive compliance, and effective risk management remain essential for firms operating in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
