Get AMLR-ready

From 10 July 2027, Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 replaces the rulebook Irish designated persons have worked under since the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 (CJA 2010). Everything here — checklists, explainers, the scope quiz and the primary sources — exists to help your firm understand what changes and prepare in good time.
