About Shoulder Compliance and This AMLR Guide
This site is run by Shoulder Compliance, an anti-money laundering consultancy based in Malta. Our tagline is “Get your compliance DONE”, and it describes how we like to work: fewer slide decks, more finished files.
Why this guide exists
Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 applies from 10 July 2027. Most of what is written about it is either the legal text itself or a vendor brochure. Compliance officers need something in between: who is covered, what changes, and what to do on Monday morning. That is what we try to provide here.
Who it is for
Compliance officers, MLROs, directors and operations leads at regulated and newly regulated businesses, in Malta and elsewhere in the EU. Start with what the AMLR is or jump to the readiness checklist.
How we write
Every page links to the primary source, whether that is EUR-Lex, the AMLA or the European Commission, and carries a review date. Where a standard is still in draft, we say so. We update pages when the rules move.
What this means for you
If you would rather have a person look at your situation than read another page, the enquiry form goes straight to us.
The content on this site is general information, not legal advice.
