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 the Republic of Ireland.
Course overview
From the Whole Firm Risk Assessment, to the documentation
that you should have for each and every client, as well as current reporting
requirements, this webinar will allow you to gain the understanding on what you
now need to be fully AML compliant at your practice in just one session. We will
cover the following:
- An understanding of what Money Laundering is and what
signs you should look out for.
- An overview of the current Republic of Ireland AML legislation, what
changes are likely over the coming years with the 6th AML Directive and how these impact your
practice, as well as the latest guidance.
- The important roles of both an Garda Síochána &
the Revenue Commissioners in Suspicious Transaction Reporting and
investigation, as well as the recently updated online reporting systems they
employ.
- Discussion of the practical AML Reporting issues and
dilemmas facing you; and
- Professional Standard’s supervisory role, their
current approach to AML compliance reviews, as well as the most common
findings that you can avoid at your firm will also be covered.
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 Institute AML Toolkit can
assist your practice to remain compliant in this area.
