Certain circumstances can arise from time to time when an accountant (as well as certain other designated persons) is allowed to rely on the privilege reporting exemption contained in Section 46 of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts, 2010 to 2018.
The effect of this exemption, when properly applied, is that no suspicious transaction report (STR) is made.
It is essential that the correct protocols are followed when relying on this exemption, and more on this is available in our new fully updated AML Policies & Procedures Manual, which is now available here.
It is fully updated for the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts, 2010 to 2018 which came into force on 26 November 2018. It retails at €150+VAT.
