New schema effective 15 September 2025

The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has announced that its goAML platform will be offline from 8-14 September 2025 while it is upgraded from version 4.6 to 5.4. After midnight on 14 September, goAML 4.6 will no longer be available, and all users will have to use the new schema from 15 September 2025.

From 15 September onwards, all reporting and registrations must follow the new 5.4 schema. Any draft reports left incomplete by 17:00 on 8 September will be rejected and must be resubmitted in the new format.

What clients need to do:

1. Save copies of previously submitted reports for your records.
2. Prepare to use the 5.4 schema from 15 September onwards.

The downtime means no access to reporting, registration, or the message board during the migration period.

To assist with the transition to goAML version 5.4, the FIC has made the following resources available in the UAT staging environment:

1. goAML EE FIC Schema Specification
2. goAML EE Version 5.4 B2B Developers Guide – Detailed Technical Specification
