The FIAU would like to draw your attention to an important development at EU level.
The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) has launched the data collection and testing exercise for the financial sector, marking a key step towards its future supervisory role. The reporting package, including the template, interpretative note, and supporting materials, is now available via the AMLA website.
This exercise will support the development and calibration of AMLA’s risk assessment models, which will be used to inform the selection of the 40 entities eligible for direct supervision and to promote a more consistent approach to AML/CFT risk assessment across the EU.
📌 Key Takeaways
· The entities selected for this exercise have already been notified. If you have not received any communication, this indicates that your organisation is not included.
· The reporting package comprises the reporting Template and its Interpretative Note. Links to the webinar and the presentation slides from the support session held on Friday, 13 March, are available online for reference.
· Deadline for submission: 22 April 2026.
