IAA Statement on FinCEN Delay of AML Rule for Advisers
January 7, 2026
Contact: IAA VP of Communications & Marketing Janay Rickwalder
The IAA appreciates that FinCEN has codified the delay of the AML Rule for advisers. We also strongly support revisiting the AML Rule during that time. An effective and efficient AML framework must be risk-based and designed to fill identified gaps in the existing AML regulatory landscape rather than duplicating the protections that already exist. This extension will allow FinCEN to examine the whole framework and reduce unnecessary or duplicative regulatory burdens in what we hope will be a more effectively tailored AML rule for advisers.
