The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) would like to inform all subject persons of the publication of three updated guidance documents aimed at enhancing the quality and consistency of reporting through the goAML platform. These updates are designed to improve data accuracy, streamline validation processes, and strengthen the analytical framework used by the FIAU.
1. goAML Rejection Rules
The updated guidance document provides a comprehensive overview of the Rejection Rules applied during the Web Report validation process. These rules serve as an additional automated filter prior to the acceptance stage, ensuring that reports submitted contain sufficient and relevant information. This measure is intended to assist the FIAU in promptly assessing and prioritising reports, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the reporting process.

2. Updated goAML Indicators
The revised indicators offer reporting entities an updated and detailed overview of the criteria used within the goAML system. These indicators are a critical component of the FIAU’s analytical framework, supporting the identification, categorisation, and assessment of suspicious activity. By aligning with these indicators, subject persons can ensure that their reporting is accurate, comprehensive, and consistent with regulatory expectations.
