Members may be interested in some opportunities for engagement with the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA).
The first is two public hearings that AMLA will hold on Tuesday, 24 March 2026. The sessions will focus on two of the regulatory technical standards (RTSs), which are currently open to public consultation and which AMLA is drafting as part of its mandate to implement the Single European Rulebook for AML under the 6th AML Directive (AMLD 6), the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), and the Regulation establishing the AMLA.
The hearing regarding the draft RTS on Customer Due Diligence will be held on Tuesday, 24 March 2026 | 12:30–14:30 (Dublin ). Click for further details and registration.
The other session regarding the draft RTS on Criteria for Identifying Business Relationships, Occasional and Linked Transactions and lower thresholds will be held earlier on Tuesday, 24 March 2026 | 09:00–11:00 (Dublin). Click for further details and registration.

The consultations will close on 8 May 2026.
The content of the draft RTSs will be part of the AML regulatory regime upon the coming into force of the majority of the Single European Rulebook in July 2027. Members are encouraged to take the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the content of the draft RTSs and to engage with the hearings and consultations. The Institute will engage in some further outreach to seek members’ views before the conclusion of the public consultations in May.
