Format
This course will be delivered via Zoom on Thursday 12 June 2025 from 2pm to 5pm. The Zoom link will be emailed to participants the day before the course is due to take place.
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
While the exact content of this webinar will be agreed closer to its airing, some of the issues to be covered will include:
- An understanding of what Money Laundering is and what
signs you should look out for.
- An overview of both Republic of Ireland & UK AML
legislation, what changes are likely over the coming years and how these
impact your practice, as well as the latest guidance.
- Whole Firm & Individual Client Risk Assessment, as well as the other Client Due Diligence documentation that you should have in place for each and every client.
This webinar will be as interactive as possible, with time allocated to allow participants to ask questions and deal with the AML issues that matter to you. We will also show how the 2024 Institute AML Toolkit can assist your practice to remain compliant in this area.
Please note that the second associated webinar focusing on AML Reporting is due to be held on Thursday 19 June.
