AFC in Practice - From Concept to Reality: AMLA in 2026

Overview

With the EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) formally established and gradually laying the groundwork for its first cycle of direct supervision, financial institutions across Europe face a period of rapid regulatory adjustment. This session will provide a practical update on AMLA’s evolving priorities as of March 2026, including the selection of high-risk entities for direct supervision, the rollout of technical standards under the Single Rulebook, and AMLA’s early approaches to cooperation with national supervisors and FIUs. Participants will gain insights into how obliged entities can adapt governance, risk assessments and reporting frameworks to align with a supervisory model that is shifting from concept to reality.
