Course Details

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.

 

This course will equip Irish accountants and auditors with the practical knowledge needed to identify beneficial owners, conduct robust due diligence, and implement processes that protect their practice and their clients. Attending will not only help you meet your compliance obligations under the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts 2010–2021 but will strengthen the trust and credibility you offer to clients which is an increasingly important differentiator in today's competitive market.

 

Lungi Sepotokele covers the following topics during this presentation:

  • The AML Regulatory Framework
  • Beneficial Ownership
  • Customer Due Diligence in Practice
