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.
Key Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to have an improved knowledge of the current AML reporting regimes in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
