AMLA is the authority within the EU's AML framework. Its institutional role, the related regulations and the implementation timeline need to be assessed separately from one another.

## Authority and regulation

Establishing an authority does not create the same direct supervisory relationship for every organisation on the same date. Check its mandate and scope against the official text.

## Impact on your institution

Assess through activity type, jurisdiction and the relevant supervisory framework. Do not assume that a generic product badge means all of your institution's requirements are met.

## Tracking sources

Follow changes in AMLA and the related official EU sources. Guides should clearly label past, current and future stages of application.

> This content is general information. Determine the requirements that apply to your institution from current official sources and your own assessment process.
