Course Details

AML obligations for Irish accounting firms are becoming more demanding — and by 2026, regulators expect stronger evidence, clearer judgement, and ongoing monitoring, not just policies on file. 


The Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts continue to shape how accountants must assess risk, apply due diligence, and document decisions. At the same time, firms are under pressure to adopt technology, train staff properly, and respond confidently to regulatory inspections. 


This course focuses on what accountants in Ireland need to know about AML in 2026 — without unnecessary complexity or scare tactics. 


You’ll gain clarity on: 

  • The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) results on how firms carry out business-wide risk assessment (BWRA) and customer risk assessment (CRA) processes 
  • How to carry out and evidence effective risk assessments 
  • Ongoing monitoring obligations — beyond client onboarding 
  • Enhanced Due Diligence in practice, not just in theory 
  • What regulators expect to see during inspections
