The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority has published the April 2025 edition of its AML Focus newsletter, outlining current AML/CFT/CFP supervision workstreams and highlighting supervisory priorities for 2025–27, alongside preparations for the Isle of Man’s MONEYVAL onsite assessment in 2026. Content includes insights from financial crime adviser George Pearmain on Jersey’s recent MONEYVAL evaluation, guidance on money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing risks associated with international “golden visa” and citizenship-by-investment schemes, and a review of recent beneficial ownership legislative changes relevant to obliged entities. The newsletter also emphasises the importance of good-quality data, previews phase two of the thematic review relating to estate agents, notes work progressing to update the National Risk Assessment, and provides a Q&A on the MONEYVAL process.
