AMLA Launches Consultation on AML-CFT Risk Assessment and Policy
The European Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Authority (AMLA) has launched two public consultations on draft guidelines and regulatory technical standards to harmonise how reporting entities identify, assess, and manage money laundering and terrorist financing risks across the EU. The draft Business-Wide Risk Assessment Guidelines establish minimum requirements for mapping integrity risks at the organisational level with proportional flexibility, while the draft RTS mandates unified group-wide risk management and sets cross-border and third-country subsidiary requirements. Stakeholders are invited to submit feedback and attend public hearings, with additional outstanding consultations on customer due diligence and business relationship criteria remaining open until 8 May 2026.
