The FIAU Malta would like to inform subject persons of the publication of a new Guidance document entitled “Key Red Flags in Financial Statements and other Non-Financial Information: Insights from the FIAU”.
It aims to guide readers in identifying key money laundering red flags frequently encountered by the FIAU in a company’s financial and non-financial information. The information provided in this paper is intended for general guidance purposes only and should not be considered as binding or exhaustive.
The red flags outlined in this paper are based on the FIAU’s analysis of submitted reports. This list is not exhaustive, and the presence of a single red flag does not automatically indicate illicit activity. Red flags should be assessed collectively and in context, as potential indicators of suspicious activity related to money laundering or terrorist financing, rather than conclusive evidence.
Reporting entities are encouraged to quote the code outlined in this guidance document (SA25-01) with any suspicious reports submitted through the guidance of this document.
