DEFINITION

The AML 30001® standard for Anti-Money Laundering (AML/CFT) -
Index 30001 : 2025 is the international standard used to certify mana-
gement systems for combating money laundering, terrorism finan-
cing, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (AML/CTF).

by financial institutions (FIs) and certain categories of non-financial
businesses and professions (NFBPs), designated as "regulated
entities" by the FATF.
•- The methodology to be followed to assess the level of technical
compliance and effectiveness of the AML/CTF systems imple-
mented by the said institutions, businesses, or other regulated
entities.

OBJECTIVES

AML 30001® is the certification standard to assess the level of techni-
cal compliance and effectiveness of anti-money laundering and
counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) systems implemented by
financial institutions and certain categories of non-financial
businesses and professions exposed to risks of money laundering or
terrorism financing.
These institutions, businesses, and professions play a crucial role in
detecting and reporting suspicious behaviors of clients seeking to
launder money from criminal activities or support terrorist activities.

Objectives for FIs and NFBPs:

•- Implement effective preventive AML/CFT measures in line with
•- their risk levels.
•- Report suspicious transactions and ensure that proceeds from
•- underlying offenses or funds supporting terrorism do not enter the
•- aforementioned sectors, or, if they do, that they are identified and
•- reported in a timely manner.
