Competent authorities should ensure that, where relevant, subjects of assessment appoint AML/CFT compliance officers in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive (EU) 2015/849. Competent authorities should also take risk-sensitive steps to check whether the AML/CFT compliance officer appointed by a subject of assessment has or continues to have the necessary levels of integrity, expertise and knowledge to fulfil its functions effectively.¹⁹ This may include a meeting with the AML/CFT compliance officer or requesting the subject of assessment to provide a summary of the AML/CFT compliance officer’s professional expertise and any other information deemed relevant by the competent authority. Competent authorities should consider whether to carry out such an assessment as part of their supervisory activities, including during on-site inspections or off-site reviews, or as a stand-alone assessment.

¹⁹ Guidelines on policies and procedures in relation to compliance management and the role and responsibilities of the AML/CFT Compliance Officer under Article 8 and Chapter VI of Directive (EU) 2015/849.
