USA AML

The USA line in a Cyprus country-risk section is usually the emptiest one in the file: everyone assumes the answer, so nobody writes it down.

As of the July 2026 list updates, the United States sits on none of the four lists that decide the question — the FATF black and grey lists, the EU high-risk third-country list, the EU tax Annex I. So the standard risk-based approach applies. But "not listed" is a finding, not a blank: the file should name the lists checked and the date checked, because the lists change several times a year — and the parties themselves still need sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening whatever the geography says.

This week, open one file with a US touch and see whether the country-risk section records that status with a date. Five minutes to fix if it doesn't.
