Today we are pleased to announce the first in our online interactive tools and services.

Does Anti-Money Laundering affect you?

If you’re a UK art business, cast your mind back to January this year when the regulations were announced. Businesses were expected to go from 0 to 100 with limited understanding, experience and assistance.

Confusion aside, we wanted to help art businesses figure-out if they even need to worry about these new regulations.

Introducing - drumroll please - the arcarta compliance quiz. In less than 30 seconds you can find out if your business falls under regulation.

The Arcarta AML Compliance Quiz is available here.

Introducing Online AML training courses for Galleries, Dealers, Auctioneers and Agents
