Typical firm scenario
A firm runs an annual AML refresh for 120 clients: each client receives a secure link for updated ID and proof of address, and managers see a dashboard of who is still outstanding before the review deadline.

AML document collection software for accountants
Last updated: 4 June 2026
In short
Move beyond tracking-only spreadsheets.
Definition: Aml document collection software for accountants is the process of requesting, collecting, tracking, and storing client proof documents — built for UK accountancy practices and compliance administrators who need visibility without replacing professional judgement.
Move beyond tracking-only spreadsheets. Collect ID, proof of address, and risk review files with reminders before they go stale.
ComplyChase AI helps track documents, expiry dates, reminders, uploads, and proof. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice. Final responsibility remains with the business, accountant, adviser, or authorised user.
