The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) implements the European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines on compliance management policies and procedures, and the role and responsibilities of the AML/CFT Compliance Officer, pursuant to Article 8 and Chapter VI of Directive (EU) 2015/849. The guidelines explicitly delineate the duties of the AML/CFT Compliance Officer, the management body, and the senior AML/CFT compliance manager, while mandating the internal policies, controls, and procedures required under Articles 8, 45, and 46 of the directive. This implementation establishes a standardized regulatory framework for asset managers and service providers to strengthen anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing oversight across the sector.
