Compliance Ireland

Compliance Ireland^[1] was an Irish company which ran from 2004 to 2023. It was formally established in January 2004, but informally commenced in mid-2003. It was a private company, but uniquely it wrote on, and contributed to, numerous debates in Ireland about corporate governance and compliance on an independent basis. Compliance Ireland was frequently quoted in newspapers,^[2][3] and government reports,^{[4][failed verification]} television,^{[5][failed verification]} and radio.^[6]

Compliance Ireland has been both a measured critic and supporter of the Financial Regulator and Central Bank since the two entities were loosely joined in 2003 following a wide sweeping regulatory review commenced by Michael McDowell (former T.D, Minister for Justice and Tánaiste) in the late 1990s and published in 2001.^[7]

Compliance Ireland closed in February 2023.^[8]
