Michelle Kane

Michelle joined OmniPro at the beginning of 2010 having spent over 19 years within the Practice Regulation Directorate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and subsequently within the Chartered Accountants Regulatory Board as part of the management team, as the Head of Committees and Casework, and as the MLRO.  During this time Michelle was Secretary to many regulatory committees and in that capacity dealt with all sizes of firms, from sole practitioner to big 4, going through the regulatory and often disciplinary process.

She acted as the Institute's and CARB's representative at several joint committees which involved working alongside many of the other accountancy bodies, and Law Societies as well as with external regulators such as the Financial Regulator and the Financial Services Authority in the UK.

She was responsible for the negotiation of  ICAI's Investment Intermediaries Act Regulations with the Central Bank of Ireland, the Department of Finance and with the Financial Regulator, and regularly spoke at courses and seminars provided by ICAI and CARB on investment business compliance, committee processes and common issues, and on anti money laundering.

Her specialisms include dealing and assisting firms going through committee and regulatory processes, the interpretation of rules and regulations, and with compliance in general.
