Upcoming Reporting and Registers Thematic (Press Release)

The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority is preparing to roll out a thematic project focusing on AML/CFT compliance in relation to Reporting and Registers.

This thematic is intended to run from January to August 2026 and will be jointly coordinated by the AML/CFT and Portfolio Supervision Divisions.

The thematic will focus on certain elements of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Code 2019 ("the Code").

Further information and the request for documentation to be provided to the Authority will be sent to relevant persons at the same time as they are notified of their part in the thematic project.

The nature and scale of the Reporting and Registers review means that notifications, and the involvement of individual firms, will be staged over a period of time.

Further assistance and guidance on the Code is available on the Authority's AML/CFT webpage. Useful documents include, but are not limited to, the Anti-Money Laundering & Countering the Financing of Terrorism Handbook and the latest AML/CFT Supervisory Priorities 2025-2027.

Oversight and supervisory functions, which includes undertaking supervisory inspections and thematic reviews, are key parts of the approach to achieving the Authority's regulatory objectives. The Reporting and Registers project will strengthen the Authority's wider understanding and picture of risk.
