AMLR Decoded – What’s Really Changing for Risk Assessment

The new EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) raises the bar for risk assessments significantly. Risks must be evaluated in a structured, transparent, and audit-proof manner — with clearly documented methodology, sources, risk factors, and continuous updates.

This is precisely where day-to-day operations become demanding for AML compliance officers: manual Excel models quickly reach their limits, data sits in silos, risk evaluation logic lacks consistency across the board — and reports are rarely coherent end-to-end, making them costly to reproduce.

Our event addresses these challenges head-on. The first part translates the AMLR’s regulatory requirements into clear, actionable steps, highlights common pitfalls, and explores what a software-supported approach can look like. The second part demonstrates how risk assessment is carried out in practice using msg.NFRA — structured, logically guided, and fully audit-ready:

1. Centralised risk data foundation — AMLR-compliant risk assessment requires a unified, versioned data foundation, ensuring that all risk factors, sources, and risk evaluations are captured consistently, transparently, and in full.
2. Standardised risk evaluation methodology — The AMLR demands a clearly defined and consistently applied risk evaluation logic that cleanly integrates domain-specific requirements — including those arising from national AML legislation and supervisory expectations.
3. Permanent report readiness — The AMLR requires institutions to be able to present a current, complete, and consistent risk assessment report at any time — not just once a year as a major project.

Your takeaway:
We combine concise, expertly curated AMLR content with a practical software perspective — bridging the gap between the regulatory demand for structured, audit-ready compliance and the concrete steps needed to make it a reality.

This event is aimed at professionals and senior leaders working in Anti-Financial Crime, AML prevention, and compliance at financial institutions and banks across the DACH region — with a particular focus on Compliance Officers and members of governing bodies.
