AML compliance software for firms in Galway
Galway’s professional community — accountancy practices, solicitors’ firms, auctioneers and letting agents serving the city and county — has lived with designated-person duties since the CJA 2010. What changes on 10 July 2027 is the rulebook itself: the EU AMLR applies directly, resetting the thresholds, beneficial-ownership rules and internal-controls expectations that many practices last revisited at their previous inspection. Distance from Dublin has never excused an out-of-date risk assessment, and the new regime arrives with supervisors already sharpening enforcement. CompliDesk Ireland is cloud software, so a firm in Galway gets the same AMLR-ready workflow as any Dublin practice — onboarding, screening and reporting — without leaving the office.
Designated persons in Galway we’re built for
The AMLR calls them “obliged entities”; Irish law has called them “designated persons” since the CJA 2010. Whatever the label, if your Galway firm is on this list, the new rulebook applies to you from 10 July 2027.
Accountants & tax advisers
Practices serving businesses and family enterprises across Galway city and county — supervised by your accountancy body, or by the AMLCU if you belong to no designated body.
See the sector page →Solicitors
Conveyancing, probate and commercial work in the west sits in AML scope like anywhere else; the Law Society of Ireland supervises, and the AMLR resets the underlying rules.
See the sector page →Estate & letting agents
Agents and auctioneers across Galway are PSRA-licensed and PSRA-supervised — with the AMLR’s new CDD thresholds applying to transactions from 10 July 2027.
See the sector page →High-value goods dealers
Dealers in high-value goods who take large cash payments face the €10,000 EU-wide cash cap and the €3,000 occasional-cash CDD trigger — both directly applicable.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 applies directly across the EU — the same rules in Galway as in every other member state, with no Irish transposition to wait for. The headline changes:
Everything runs online — wherever in Galway you are
We’ll be straight with you: CompliDesk doesn’t have an office on your street, and it doesn’t need one. It’s cloud software hosted in the EU — AWS eu-west-1, Dublin — so a firm in Galway onboards clients, screens them and prepares its reports entirely online.
Onboard clients from your desk
Send a secure onboarding link; identity verification (KYC and KYB) runs through Didit online. No paper packs, no office visit.
Screen and monitor anywhere
Sanctions and PEP screening against EU, UN and PEP datasets via OpenSanctions runs in the browser — at onboarding and on an ongoing basis.
Reports prepared online
Build your BWRA, policy pack and STR records in the platform, and export goAML-compatible XML for your MLRO to file.
Demos over video call
Every demo is a video call at a time that suits your practice — book one and see the platform on your own screen.
