The UK's status on the four lists is rarely the problem — the stale date in the file is. Four lists carry the answer: FATF's call-for-action and increased-monitoring lists, the EU's high-risk third-country list, and Annex I of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. When a client, a beneficial owner or a payment corridor touches the UK, the country-risk section should record where the UK stands on each, and the date you checked. The lists change several times a year, so a status from six months ago is one you can't defend. This week, open the UK files and confirm the country-risk section carries a current date, not a remembered one.
