AML compliance software for firms in Kilkenny
Kilkenny’s professional firms — solicitors, accountants and auctioneers serving the city, the county and the wider south east — tend to be small, long-established and stretched. AML compliance is usually one partner’s side job, done in Word documents and a filing cabinet. That approach more or less worked under the CJA 2010. It will not survive contact with the AMLR, which applies from 10 July 2027 and expects a documented business-wide risk assessment, prescribed compliance roles and evidence behind every client decision — in a two-partner firm just as in a Dublin office. CompliDesk Ireland is built for exactly this kind of practice: software that provides the structure, so a small firm can be compliant without hiring for it.
Designated persons in Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny firm is on this list, the new rulebook applies to you from 10 July 2027.
Accountants & tax advisers
Small and sole-practitioner firms serving Kilkenny’s businesses and farms — supervised by your accountancy body, or by the AMLCU if unaffiliated. The prescribed compliance roles apply to you too.
See the sector page →Solicitors
Kilkenny practices doing conveyancing, probate and farm transfers are AML-supervised by the Law Society of Ireland; the AMLR resets the thresholds behind that everyday work.
See the sector page →Estate & letting agents
Agents and auctioneers across Kilkenny are PSRA-licensed and PSRA-supervised — CDD, sanctions screening and record-keeping apply to every in-scope sale and letting.
See the sector page →High-value goods dealers
Dealers in high-value goods who accept large cash payments face the €10,000 EU-wide cash cap and the €3,000 occasional-cash CDD trigger under the AMLR.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 applies directly across the EU — the same rules in Kilkenny as in every other member state, with no Irish transposition to wait for. The headline changes:
Everything runs online — wherever in Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny 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.
