The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) launched two public consultations on draft instruments setting out how obliged entities should identify, assess and manage money laundering and terrorist financing risks, covering both business-wide risk assessments and group-wide AML/CFT frameworks. Draft Guidelines under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) Article 10(4) set minimum expectations for business-wide risk assessments across obliged entities in the financial and non-financial sectors, with proportionality linked to size, business model and risk profile. Draft Regulatory Technical Standards under AMLR Articles 16(4) and 17(3) establish minimum standards for group-wide AML/CFT frameworks, including cross-border situations and operations in third countries, to support a consolidated view of risks and corresponding adjustments to policies, procedures and control functions. AMLA invited feedback from all stakeholders and encouraged responses from the non-financial sector, with submissions accepted in any official EU language. It will also hold two online public hearings on 20 May 2026 for the draft RTS and on 28 May 2026 for the draft Guidelines.
