The new anti-money laundering authority of the EU, the Authority for Countering Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (AMLA), has published an article on a data collection exercise to test risk assessment models for the financial sector.
They announced their ‘Single Programming Document’ and three internetconsultations [*]:
- Consultation on the draft RTS on pecuniary sanctions, administrative measures and periodic penalty payments, until 9 March.
- Consultation on the draft RTS on Customer Due Diligence, until 8 May.
- Consultation on the draft RTS on criteria for identifying business relationships, occasional and linked transactions and lower thresholds, until 8 May.
[*] There is nothing ‘technical’ in ‘Regulatory Technical Standards’ (RTS). RTS contain additional regulations, which are decided unilaterally by AMLA and/or the Commission.
