EU Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations
EY’s AML-dedicated team, supported by a global network of EY professionals specializing in financial crime prevention, can help firms comply with the new rules and navigate this evolving landscape.
The EU’s AML legislative package aims to harmonize the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing across Europe. It establishes a centralized supervisor, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), to enforce consistent application of the rules, and foster a culture of compliance that transcends borders.
EY’s AML-dedicated team can help organizations go beyond AMLA’s requirements and turn compliance into transformation - helping firms gain a competitive edge and fulfill their societal role in preventing financial crime.
EY teams offer a wide range of services to support organizations on preventing money laundering, fraud, bribery and corruption and economic sanctions.
While the EU’s AML package provides detailed requirements and much-needed clarity, organizations need to review their control frameworks to identify gaps, make design improvements and implement changes to help deliver compliance. EY teams are well equipped to support organizations on every stage of this journey with our end-to-end range of services and solutions. Our capabilities include:
Anti-fraud risk assessment and program design
EY anti-fraud programs deliver a unified strategy for fraud risk management that combines assessment, prevention, detection, and investigation to tackle fraud head-on.
Anti-bribery and corruption services
EY Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) services guide clients through the complexities of compliance. EY Business Integrity & Corporate Compliance Methodology helps organizations build strong governance, streamline workflows, and enhance strategic risk management through automation.
Transformation
EY teams are experienced in helping organizations innovate and modernize technology to support AML compliance, which includes driving transformation by optimizing technology infrastructure and streamlining operations.
