As regulatory scrutiny intensifies across Ireland's financial and professional services sector, accountants and auditors are increasingly finding themselves on the front line of anti-money laundering compliance.

Understanding Beneficial Ownership and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is a core professional obligation under Irish law.

The transposition of the EU's 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive into Irish law, the establishment and ongoing development of the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO), and growing enforcement activity by the Revenue Commissioners and the Department of Justice have pushed these requirements firmly into the spotlight.
