Readers will know that accountants in practice, as designated persons under Irish anti-money laundering legislation, have a statutory obligation to report suspicious transactions to both the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of An Garda Síochána and the Irish Revenue Commissioners. In February 2025 Chartered Accountants Ireland hosted a webinar on suspicious transaction reporting when the Professional Accountancy team were joined by representatives of both An Garda Síochána and the Revenue Commissioners. They provided an overview of how to report on the recently updated FIU GoAML system, as well as the Revenue system. Click the link to access the webinar https://youtu.be/SL_h9msVwJo.
Also available now are details of some of the questions and potential answers which were discussed at the webinar.
