Nexis CPD Knowledge Bank — Business Compliance guides and explainers.
Charities have no CPD scheme, but trustees must take reasonable steps to protect people from harm. What the Charity Commission expects, the duties owed to volunteers, and a proportionate training plan.
The CIPD sets no CPD hours but requires three CPD records a year and audits a random sample of members. What passes an audit, how to write a record, and the legal duties HR should cover.
No statutory CPD for estate agents in England, but a real AML training duty supervised by HMRC, and a 20-hours-in-three-years training rule for letting agents in Scotland.
Solicitors have had no CPD hours requirement since November 2016. What continuing competence asks for, the strengthened renewal declaration, and the obligations that sit outside legal knowledge.
There is no single accountant CPD requirement. ACCA’s 40-unit route, ICAEW’s three categories, CIMA’s outcome-based approach, and the separate AML training duty under the Money Laundering Regulations.
No law sets CPD hours for assessors or internal quality assurers. The difference between the regulated qualification and CPD, the two kinds of CPD you must keep, and what an external quality assurer checks.
The Money Laundering Regulations do not say AML training must be annual – Regulation 24 says ‘regularly’. Who is in scope, what the training must cover, and why the written training record is a legal duty in its own right.
GDPR did not stop applying after Brexit — it was retained as the UK GDPR. The seven principles, the six lawful bases, individual rights, subject access requests and the 72-hour breach rule.
Since October 2024 employers have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. What the duty covers, the 25% compensation uplift, and what reasonable steps look like.
Anti-money laundering is not just for banks. Who must comply, the law (POCA, MLR 2017), the key obligations, the offences, and the red flags staff must recognise.
