Wolfsberg Group AML Principles & Guidance

# Wolfsberg Group AML Principles & Guidance — 50% of in-scope requirements covered.

3 requirements · 3 in scope (3 designed). The 50% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** The Wolfsberg Group is an association of global banks that publishes industry standards and guidance for AML, sanctions screening, and correspondent banking due diligence. Its principles set good-practice expectations for risk-based KYC/CDD, correspondent-banking due diligence, and the effectiveness, tuning, and governance of sanctions / transaction screening. KYE Protocol™(TM) governs WHETHER an AI agent's AML or sanctions-screening action may proceed at the action boundary under a named compliance officer's authority, with due diligence recorded before the action and replay-provable provenance, and section-36 two-person sign-off on consequential filings. KYE™ does not run the screening engine, does not decide whether a name is a true sanctions match, and does not replace the institution's AML / sanctions program. · **License:** The Wolfsberg Principles are published by the Wolfsberg Group; KYE™ registry cites them for mapping purposes.
