Format

This course was recorded on the 19 June 2025.

Who should attend

All staff in your practice, right through from Partner level to Trainees, have specific AML responsibilities and hence attendance on this interactive webinar for all members of your team would be of benefit to ensure that your firm remains fully AML compliant.

This course specifically focuses on the needs of accountants in practice in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Course overview

While the exact content of this webinar will be agreed closer to its airing, some of the issues to be covered will include:

• The important roles of both an Garda Síochána & the Revenue Commissioners in Suspicious Transaction Reporting and investigation in the Republic of Ireland, as well as that of the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the UK. The online reporting systems employed in each jurisdiction will also be covered.
• Discussion of the practical AML Reporting issues and dilemmas facing you.

This webinar will be as interactive as possible, with time allocated to allow participants to ask the questions and deal with the AML issues that matter to you. We will also show how the 2024 Institute AML Toolkit can assist your practice to remain compliant in this area.

Please note that the first associated webinar focusing on AML Risk Assessment and Client Due Diligence is due to be held on Thursday 12 June.

Key Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to have an improved knowledge of the current AML reporting regimes in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
