Irish market entry & regulatory compliance
Entering Ireland from abroad can mean adapting your existing compliance arrangements. We help you identify the Irish requirements relevant to your activities, assess gaps and prepare the policies, controls and documentation needed for your Irish operations.
Irish regulatory obligations and gap assessments
Authorisation and registration readiness support
Compliance frameworks and monitoring plans
Irish policies, procedures and regulatory change
We establish the applicable regulatory framework, business model and scope at the outset. Where authorisation or registration is needed, decisions rest with the relevant authority.
A sound financial crime framework starts with understanding your risks. We help design, review and implement AML/CFT arrangements that connect your risk assessment to the controls your people use.
Business and customer risk assessments
AML/CFT policies and operating procedures
Sanctions and PEP screening frameworks
Training, control reviews and remediation
Support is tailored to your business, its risk profile and the requirements of the relevant supervisory authority.
Give your MLRO function practical support and a clear structure. We help with oversight, escalation, internal reporting and management information, with outsourced or interim appointments considered where appropriate.
Outsourced and interim MLRO arrangements
Internal reporting and escalation procedures
Board reporting and annual MLRO reports
Support for existing MLROs and compliance teams
Appointments are subject to the firm’s needs, applicable regulatory requirements and any necessary approvals. The firm retains its own regulatory responsibilities.
Make due diligence consistent and workable. We help businesses assess who they are dealing with, understand ownership and risk, and maintain a clear record of the decisions they make.
Customer onboarding and due diligence procedures
Beneficial ownership and control assessments
Enhanced due diligence and customer risk models
File reviews, remediation and ongoing monitoring
The scope can cover a focused review of your existing process or the development of a complete onboarding framework.
Facing a Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) inspection, a supervisory query or a board review? We help you assess gaps, organise supporting records, prepare responses and track remediation, with clear responsibilities and reporting.
CBI requirements and compliance readiness reviews
Inspection preparation and evidence organisation
Supervisory correspondence and remediation plans
Governance responsibilities and board reporting
The scope depends on your activities and regulatory position. Your firm retains responsibility for compliance and regulatory submissions.
Build clarity around how your organisation uses personal data. We help translate data protection requirements into documents, responsibilities and working practices that people can follow.
Privacy notices and data protection policies
Records of processing and data mapping
Vendor and data processing agreement reviews
Support with rights requests and privacy assessments
Data protection support can form part of a wider compliance engagement or a clearly defined standalone project.
