AMLA Executive Board Member Rikke-Louise Petersen delivered the opening keynote at the Nordic Financial Crime & Sanctions Forum in Copenhagen on 15 September 2026, focusing on how stronger risk analysis, financial intelligence and supervisory cooperation can support a more effective European AML/CFT framework.
Speaking to financial crime and sanctions professionals from across the Nordic and Baltic region, Petersen emphasised AMLA's role in complementing national expertise with a European perspective, helping to identify cross-border patterns and support a more consistent approach across the Single Market.
She outlined how risk analysis and financial intelligence should reinforce each other, highlighting AMLA's work to strengthen cooperation among FIUs, including its first joint analysis exercise towards the end of 2026, and the information-sharing partnerships that Article 75 of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation will enable from July 2027.
Turning to supervision, Petersen underlined the value of bringing AML/CFT supervision and FIU coordination together within the same European authority, allowing the two functions to inform each other while remaining distinct.
