The highlights of the survey include the following:

AML is still on the radar of many banks' leadership, but is being squeezed by other priorities.
AML continues to be a significant and rising expense for banks, but many under-estimate how much it costs.
PEPs and sanctions are a major focus for banks and governments alike, however both are far from straightforward to get to grips with.
Transaction monitoring policies and systems are generally seen as satisfactory, but with plenty of room for improvement.
KYC data is generally collected and updated both robustly and regularly, but there is great variation in the approach used.
