Anti-Money Laundering Update

January 1, 2022

New Anti-Money Laundering and Client Due Diligence

As you may be aware, accountants and other professionals must comply with the Anti Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 requirements. From the 1st October 2018, our firm must obtain and verify information from prospective and existing clients. This information includes:

 

·        Your full name

·        Your date of birth

·        Your address.

 

To confirm these details documents such as your drivers license, passport or your birth certificate, and documents that show your address such as a current bank statement, will be required. The proof of address can be a bank statement or utility bill and must be less than three months old. We need to have copies of these documents to keep on file. We attach a leaflet which sets out requirements which will help.

 

We may also need to ask you for further information in the future which can include details of your source of wealth and details of any large transactions.

 

Please do not hesitate to speak to one of our Directors should you require any information about the above.
