1923 charsFrance's Financial Markets Authority Publishes Anti-Money Laundering Inspection Findings Summary
On July 9, 2026, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) published a summary of its anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) inspections and related enforcement actions. The report covers the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025, and consolidates key findings from inspections, sanction decisions, administrative settlement agreements, and follow-up correspondence issued during this timeframe.
The summary focuses on AML/CFT compliance issues identified among asset management companies and financial investment advisors operating in France. It draws together the principal lessons learned from enforcement actions pursued by the AMF Enforcement Committee, including sanctions decisions and administrative settlements. The report also addresses compliance matters related to tax evasion and fraud prevention within the supervised sector.
The publication serves to provide transparency regarding the AMF's supervisory priorities and enforcement outcomes in the AML/CFT domain. By synthesizing inspection findings and enforcement actions over the four-year period, the AMF aims to communicate compliance expectations and highlight common deficiencies identified across regulated entities. This approach enables market participants to understand the regulator's enforcement priorities and remediate similar issues within their own compliance frameworks.
The summary is available for download on the AMF website and represents part of the regulator's broader commitment to combating financial crime and illicit financing within French securities markets.

The report covers the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025, and consolidates key findings from inspections, sanction decisions, administrative settlement agreements and follow-up correspondence issued during this timeframe. The summary focuses on AML/CTF compliance issues identified among asset management companies and financial investment advisors operating in France.

The report also details the shortcomings identified by the AMF’s inspection teams, which include:
Incomplete and insufficiently precise AML/CTF procedures that are not adapted to the activities carried out.
Risk maps that are insufficiently personalised, incomplete or that do not provide an operational link between the risks identified and the vigilance measures implemented.
Shortcomings in the collection, storage, updating and traceability of information relating to clients, their beneficial owners, the origin of funds or politically exposed person status.
A lack of regular and appropriate training for employees on AML/CTF obligations.
Internal control systems that are insufficiently formalised or whose effectiveness has not been demonstrated.
Breaches of TRACFIN or AMF reporting obligations.
The report provides transparency into the AMF's supervisory priorities and enforcement outcomes in the AML/CTF domain.
