Preparing for New AML Obligations

Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) reforms are expanding and many businesses will soon be subject to new compliance obligations.

You may be required to meet new regulatory requirements, including client identification, risk assessments, and ongoing compliance processes.

If you’re unsure whether these obligations apply to you, AUSTRAC provides a simple tool to help you find out. Just answer a few questions about your business and the services you offer.

  • Increased regulatory scrutiny
  • Delays in transactions and client onboarding
