The Money Laundering Act (AMLA) is flanked, among other things, by so-called interpretation and application notes (AuAs for short), which are typically prepared by the supervisory authorities.
The AuAs are specific statements on the interpretation and application of the Money Laundering Act. Although the Money Laundering Act partly contains clear provisions on the practical application, some specifications remain unclear. The reason for this is that there are different sector-specific factors that must be taken into account, for example, when preparing risk analyses. In order to provide obligated parties with clearer specifications, these are developed on the basis of the Money Laundering Act in so-called "AuAs".
