And so it began - arguably the most significant changes to AML/CFT regulation in Europe in decades are now officially underway. What should every compliance officer know about the changes that started this week❓ 1️⃣ The regulation establishing the European Union's new Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) came into force this week (Wednesday). 2️⃣ The new EU framework, which comes into force this week, will allow the AMLA to take over primary supervision of the sector from the European Banking Authority (EBA). 3️⃣ However, the EBA will continue in its role as the primary authority for money laundering oversight, before transferring its powers and resources to the AMLA by the end of 2025. The EBA will continue to be responsible for addressing ML/TF risks across its supervisory remit. Below 👇 you will find key information on how the EBA will contribute to the new AML/CFT regime. BTW, for those interested in career opportunities, check out the AMLA's first job advertisement (link in the Comments section), the position of Chairman (CEO/DG). Candidates have until 8 July to apply to head the Frankfurt-based agency, which is expected to employ around 430 people and is due to open next year. The European Commission aims to draw up a shortlist of at least two candidates and make a final selection by early 2025. The AMLA plans to publish other vacancies for legal officers and experts from December. #AMLA #EBA #RegulatoryChanges #EU
