AML/CFT & the Irish Financial Regulator
AML/CFT & the Irish Financial Regulator
This page was created before the Financial Regulator revamped its website, creating a far greater user friendly website. Therefore the information on this page should be easily available on the Financial Regulator's website. Some information on this page is either taken from, or linked to the Financial Regulator. Any copyright in the text and newsletters on its website from where the below information is replicated, belongs to the Financial Regulator unless it belongs to a third party, e.g. FATF.
We will now use this web-page to highlight and analyse the work of the Financial Regulator as it carries out its anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism requirements and powers.
