One of the more difficult tasks in the life of the MLRO / MLPO is the task of drafting appropriate Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism Compliance Manuals, Policies and Procedures. Writing Manuals, Policies and Procedures is time consuming and difficult but absolutely essential for effectively managing business and avoiding a regulatory sanction and indeed as a defence to claims of negligence. Compliance Ireland Regulatory Services Limited and City Compliance Regulatory Services Limited, experts in AML / CFT compliance, have uploaded 'Index of Contents' for an Anti-Money Laundering & Counter-Financing of Terrorism Manual (as well as a MiFID Manual, a MiFID Procedures Manual and a MiFID Compliance Programme) on their website.
Compliance Ireland is staffed by solicitors and accountants who have first hand experience as regulators (UK FSA and ASIC), UK, Irish and US Money Laundering Prevention Officers, Compliance Officers and Heads of Business Functions. Compliance Ireland works for Irish, UK, other European, USA, Australian, Middle-East and South Africa financial firms on advice, detection, consulting and training matters. Compliance Ireland also advises and trains AML regulators, lawyers, accountants, estate agents and other covered persons (e.g. designated bodies) on AML & CFT. With a wealth of experience and practicality, Compliance Ireland is a one-stop solution for your AML/CFT needs. When providing services outside of Ireland, we work through our sister company City Compliance Regulatory Services Limited (same people, different name).
