Chartered Accountants Ireland has introduced an Annual Return for those firms supervised for AML purposes pursuant to
the Anti-Money Laundering Supervision Regulations - TCSPs and Bookkeepers (The Regulations).
The Regulations provide for the Institute’s AML supervision of trust and company service providers (TCSPs) and bookkeepers which fall within the Institute’s supervisory remit under the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 as amended (the Act) and related agreements.
These are entities which:
- are TCSPs and/or bookkeepers; and
- include Institute members amongst the entity's principals; and
- are not subject to the Public Practice Regulations since they do not provide any services which would meet the definition of public practice in the Public Practice Regulations; and
- are not subject to AML supervision by another competent authority pursuant to agreements between the Institute and other competent authorities as provided for by the Act.
The annual return should be submitted by 31 August 2025. Queries should be directed to Professional Standards.
Further information on the registration and supervision of members for AML purposes can be found on our
authorisations page of our website.
