AUSTRALIAN AML COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS ARE CHANGING
Australia has commenced a significant Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF) change program which will affect your business and its’ anti-money laundering compliance arrangements.
What is AML/CTF compliance?
AML/CTF is activity designed to manage and/or mitigate the risk that legitimate businesses are being used to launder money or fund terrorism.
AML/CTF laws and regulations require businesses to make it harder for themselves to be used to launder money and fund terrorism, and when they are or suspect they are report it to the authorities.
Initialism provides proportionate and effective compliance solutions to support your business achieving and maintaining AML/CTF compliance.
What is the 'AML/CTF Act'?
The AML/CTF Act sets out the products and services vulnerable to money laundering and terrorist financing.
Anyone providing a designated service is called a ‘reporting entity’ and is captured under the AML/CTF Act.
The AML/CTF Rules detail what reporting entities must do to comply with the AML/CTF Act. The Rules are made by AUSTRAC.
Initialism provide AML/CTF compliance solutions for all regulated entities across the Financial Services Industry, as well as all Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs).
What is an AML/CTF Program?
An AML/CTF program is the activity, systems and controls put in place and operated by a reporting entity to mitigate and manage their ML/TF risks and comply with the requirements of the AML/CTF Act and Rules. The activity set out in the AML/CTF program should be ‘risk based’, which means a reporting entity must fully understand and document it’s ML/TF risks
What are the AML/CTF changes?
There is an increased regulatory focus on AML/CTF compliance to:
- Address identified weaknesses in the current AML/CTF regime.
- Revise AML/CTF requirements for all reporting entities.
- Expand the AML/CTF regime to cover new industry sectors.
