Running the AML Check
- Find the client or contact that you would like to run an AML check on.
- Open the client or contact and navigate to tasks.
- Click on the CCH iFirm AML button.
After clicking CCH iFirm AML your browser will open a new tab, asking you to log into CCH iFirm with your Wolters Kluwer account.
Note: that the email address you use to login with your Wolters Kluwer account, must match the email address under the 'Personal' tab in the employee record in the CCH Central email.
If the email address for the Wolters Kluwer account and the email address on the employee record do not match, you can edit the email by going to the CCH Central > TASKS > Employee > Personal and then entering or editing the email address displayed.
Log in
After you log in, you will see a success message -

Whilst you can retype information in this window, we always recommend ensuring your data is correct in CCH Central, because CCH Central will be your main database and your single source of truth.

CCH Central Release 2024.3 Driver Licence and Passport Number Validations
With the introduction of AML Biometrics within CCH iFirm, clients can prove their identity using non-UK identification. As this identification (Drivers licence and Passport number) is filtered back and updated within CCH Central, the existing validations have been removed to allow for foreign identifications.
You will be asked to confirm the details. Next, click on the 'Run AML Check' button.
After running the check, you will get either a 'Pass' or 'Fail' with the option to download the accompanying PDF. It will also automatically sync with CCH Document Centre against the relevant client or contact. If you chose not to download the PDF or you don’t have CCH Document Centre, you can view it within CCH iFirm AML.
Please note: to view a PDF of the report in the Document Centre, the functionality will need to have been enabled - see Getting Started with CCH iFirm AML
