Albania AML

Albania files rarely fail on the FATF question. They fail on the date.

Four lists decide the answer — FATF's call-for-action and increased-monitoring lists, the EU's high-risk third-country list, and Annex I of the EU's non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. Most country-risk sections I see name one or two and stop. The gap surfaces later: an Albanian payment corridor, a beneficial owner who appears mid-review, and nothing in the file showing which list you checked or when. These lists move several times a year, so a file that was correct at the last update can be wrong by the time the auditor opens it.

Before the next Albanian file closes, record where it stands on all four, and the date you looked.
