Anti money laundering

Money on washing lineWe are ready. Are you?

The President of Ireland signed the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 into legislation on 5 May 2010, with the legislation becoming effective from 15 July 2010..

To ensure you are compliant with the new requirements, we have summarised below six steps to assist you.

Six steps to compliance

  1. Carry out a risk assessment of your products/services, customers, geographical jurisdictions and sales channels
  2. Consider application of the new risk-based approach
  3. Identify exemptions and use simplified due diligence where possible
  4. Implement new policies and procedures to manage “Politically Exposed Persons”
  5. Make arrangements for reliance on third parties
  6. Update all your documentation

How we can help
