Anti-money-laundering duties come from the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts, which apply customer due diligence, monitoring, record-keeping and reporting obligations to designated persons in finance and in several professions. The Central Bank of Ireland supervises financial firms, suspicious transaction reports go to the financial intelligence unit within An Garda Síochána and to Revenue, and the beneficial-ownership register underpins the due-diligence work.
