Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an urgent directive requiring regulated entities to submit specific information to support the identification of firms for future direct supervision by the Anti-Money Laundering Authority. The reporting process is part of preparations for the first selection cycle of entities that will come under direct AMLA oversight from 2028.
Scope of the requirement
The requirement applies to investment firms, crypto-asset service providers, and various collective investment management companies that held an authorisation as of December 31, 2025.
Entities that were authorised by that date but had not yet commenced operations are also required to participate in the submission process.
Reporting period and deadline
Firms must download the standardised reporting template from the AMLA website and provide detailed information covering the period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
The completed document must be emailed to the CySEC risk statistics department by Friday, June 26, 2026.
Compliance warning
CySEC Chairman George Theocharides emphasised the importance of meeting the deadline.
CySEC said failure to comply with the submission requirements promptly and properly may result in administrative penalties under the relevant national legislation. It also said it will not issue reminders to firms that do not submit their documentation on time.
Support for firms
AMLA is hosting a webinar on June 10, 2026, to provide a practical walkthrough of the reporting tools and interpretative notes.
