The Resolution repealed section 5 of resolution 28,608, which had created the Anti-Money Laundering Unit within the ASI (AMLUASI) to coordinate all insurance and reinsurance aspects related to the Anti-Money Laundering Law (Law 25,246).

The Agency was created within the office of the Superintendent and replaces the AMLUASI.

This new agency will be in charge of implementing, controlling and coordinating compliance with the policies established from time to time by the Superintendent pursuant to the legal framework in force and the international guidelines and recommendations on this subject. To this effect, the Agency will be charged with the surveillance of insurance and reinsurance companies, insurance and reinsurance brokers and intermediaries and other participants in the insurance market and will act as the liaison of the ASI with other domestic and foreign anti-money laundering authorities.
