The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority has published an online briefing pack to help private sector firms prepare for the Isle of Man’s MONEYVAL mutual evaluation, which commences on 28 September 2026. The materials are intended to explain the evaluation process and support firms in contributing to the Island’s preparations. The pack highlights changes to the evaluation methodology, explains the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Immediate Outcomes, and summarises the Island’s previous evaluation, alongside an updated timeline and frequently asked questions. It also flags the areas MONEYVAL assessors are likely to focus on during onsite interviews in autumn 2026, in the context of a sixth-round approach that places greater emphasis on outcomes and structured, data-driven evidence and expects firms to demonstrate how internal controls are proportionate to sectoral and business-specific risks. The briefing materials form part of a broader outreach programme by Isle of Man government agencies and regulators, including targeted sessions with a cohort of businesses and supporting reports and summaries linked to the updated National Risk Assessments.
