Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism advances 2027 selection preparations with EBA draft taxonomy consultation and updated data collection template

The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) published two updates to support the 2027 exercise that will select obliged entities for AMLA’s direct supervision starting in 2028, covering both the underlying reporting taxonomy and the ongoing 2026 testing and calibration data collection. As part of its reporting framework release 4.3, the European Banking Authority (EBA) has published a draft data model and taxonomy supporting the methodology to identify which obliged entities will fall under AMLA’s direct supervision; stakeholders, including the private sector and national competent authorities, can submit feedback via the EBA feedback form until 10 May 2026. AMLA also issued an updated data collection template for the 2026 testing and calibration exercise (launched on 16 March 2026) that corrects omissions by adding Kosovo to the country list and credit providers to the entity-type list; only credit providers and/or entities with activities in Kosovo are required to use the new version, both versions will be accepted, and entities that already submitted are not required to resubmit. The deadline for data submission for the 2026 testing and calibration exercise remains 22 April 2026.
