The objective of the recommendations is to have a common understanding on both the banks and regulator’s side of the application of laws and regulations in the area of the prevention of financial crime, as well as the introduction of risk-based approach.

The recommendations are continuously updated and complemented. The first version of the recommendations was adopted in summer 2020, but the complemented and updated version was adopted on 21 December 2021.
