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.
