    OFAC

  • Using the goAML Web Portal across Multiple Browsers or Tabs with the same account

    FIAU

    The FIAU would like to inform Reporting Entities that Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs) who manage more than one Reporting Entity are advised not to use the goAML Web Portal simultaneously across multiple browser tabs or different browsers while logged in with the same account. Doing so may lead to data inconsistencies in how Reporting Entity selections are displayed during the preparation or submission of reports and messages. This creates a risk that submissions may inadvertently be made on behalf of a different Reporting Entity managed under the same MLRO account. To ensure a smooth and consistent experience, MLROs are encouraged to complete all required actions under one Reporting Entity within a single browser window before switching to another. For any assistance, please contact the FIAU.
