On 16 April 2026, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) issued two consultations on draft instruments that establish how obliged entities should identify, assess, and manage money laundering and terrorist financing risks. The first consultation concerns draft guidelines under Article 10(4) of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (Regulation 2024/1624) (AMLR) which set out minimum expectations for all obliged entities, across the financial and non‑financial sectors, while allowing for proportionality based on the entity’s size, business model and risk profile. They support entities in making informed, risk-based decisions on how to manage their specific risk exposure. The second consultation concerns draft regulatory technical standards under Articles 16(4) and 17(3) of the AMLR which contain the minimum standards for group-wide anti-money laundering frameworks, including in cross-border situations and when obliged entities operate in third countries.
