What an HMRC inspection asks to see
Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a
gallery — which is exactly why the evidence file matters. The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 set the same
standing expectations for every HMRC-supervised art market participant:
Registered with an AML supervisor
MLR 2017, Part 6
A review asks to see: Your registration — HMRC checks its own register; this page shows your entry.
Firm-wide risk assessment
MLR 2017, reg 18
A review asks to see: A written, dated risk assessment specific to your practice — not an undated template.
Policies, controls & procedures
MLR 2017, reg 19
A review asks to see: A written PCP document proportionate to your size, kept up to date and evidenced to staff.
Nominated officer (MLRO)
MLR 2017, reg 21
A review asks to see: The appointment on record, and staff knowing who receives internal reports.
Client due diligence + ongoing monitoring
MLR 2017, regs 27–28
A review asks to see: A per-client file: identity verified, screening outcome, risk level, and reg 28(11) ongoing monitoring with a dated record every run — a documented "no change" is evidence.
Staff training
MLR 2017, reg 24
A review asks to see: A log of who was trained, when, and on what — awareness undocumented is awareness unproven.
Record-keeping
MLR 2017, reg 40
A review asks to see: CDD records retained five years and retrievable — scattered inboxes fail this in practice.
Quick answers
Is THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS registered for anti-money-laundering supervision?
On the HMRC Anti-Money-Laundering Supervised Business Register, THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS appears with status APPROVED (registration number XXML00000153791). Art market participants — dealers and galleries trading in works over €10,000 — must be supervised by HMRC; unlike accountancy or legal services, there is no professional-body supervision route for this sector. This is drawn from HMRC's own public register; the register itself is the authoritative record, and registration decisions are HMRC's alone. If any detail is out of date, email hello@artguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.
What does an AML review expect of THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS?
The same as for every HMRC-supervised art market participant: a written, dated firm-wide risk assessment; policies, controls and procedures; a nominated officer (MLRO); a per-client due-diligence file with identity verified and ongoing monitoring recorded; a staff-training log; and records kept for five years and retrievable. Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a gallery — which is why the evidence file matters. This describes the standing duties in the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, not an assessment of this business.
