AMLA Executive Board Member Rikke-Louise Petersen spoke to Koos Couvée, Europe Editor at ACAMS moneylaundering.com, about AMLA's approach to supervision and engagement with the private sector.
In the interview, Petersen discussed the importance of moving beyond a tick-the-box approach to compliance, urging firms to embed AML awareness at board level and build a culture of constant awareness. She addressed AMLA's workload and progress on regulatory technical standards, and encouraged industry to engage with consultations and not wait until rules are finalised to begin preparing.
Petersen also spoke about the value of bringing supervision and FIU coordination together under one roof, and outlined how AMLA plans to build structured engagement with the private sector beyond formal consultation processes.
