  • AMLA launches data collection exercise to test risk assessment models

    16 March 2026
    The EU Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) has launched a data collection and testing exercise aimed at testing and calibrating its risk assessment models for credit and financial institutions. The exercise will support the selection, in 2027, of up to 40 entities for AMLA's direct supervision from 2028, and the development of a consistent, EU‑wide methodology for assessing money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Participation is limited to entities already notified by their national competent authorities. AMLA has published a reporting package, including an interpretative note, reporting template and recording and slides from a webinar explaining the requirements and next steps. Participating firms are required to submit data by 22 April.
