AED or the Administration de l’enregistrement, des domaines et de la TVA is the supervisory authority in charge of ensuring compliance by the professionals not referred to in paragraphs 1 to 7 of AML Law 2004 with their professional obligations as regards the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing provided for in Articles 2-2 to 5 and their implementing measures.
In its mission of supervision and control in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism (hereinafter “AML/CFT”), the AED has developed questionnaires for professionals falling within its field of AML/CFT competence.

What’s new for AIFs?
- RR/RC identification form
Same as RR/RC identification form RAIFs. This means that each AIF has to appoint RC and RR as defined in accordance with the Law of 12 November 2004 on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing coordinated version which defines clearly scope for AED and obligations of professionals subject to AED supervision.
- AML/CFT questionnaire
