Course Details

AML expectations for Irish accounting firms continue to increase and in 2026, regulators are looking for more than documented policies. Firms are expected to demonstrate sound judgement, well-evidenced risk assessments, and effective ongoing monitoring in practice.

 

Under the Criminal Justice Act, accountants must clearly understand their AML responsibilities and be able to justify decisions during regulatory inspections. This includes how risk is assessed, how due diligence is applied, and how AML obligations are maintained throughout the client relationship.

 

This session provides a practical overview of the importance of AML, focusing on what accountants in Ireland need to know.
