Get a fully customised AML/CTF framework built for your business.
Strengthening AML/CTF compliance is critical for Australian businesses operating in regulated sectors. Our AML/CFT Program Services help organisations build, maintain, and optimise a compliant framework aligned with AUSTRAC guidelines, industry expectations, and risk-based best practices.
We support you through the entire lifecycle, from assessing your exposure to ML/TF risks to designing a robust aml compliance program and implementing a practical aml procedures program that works seamlessly with your day-to-day operations.
Businesses in Australia face increasing scrutiny, evolving regulatory demands, and higher expectations for due diligence. A structured AML/CTF Program ensures:
Our goal is to deliver a compliant, audit-ready structure without unnecessary complexity.
Australian businesses classified as reporting entities must implement a documented AML/CTF Program that meets AUSTRAC’s regulatory requirements. An effective AML/CTF Program is built on a risk-based approach and must be tailored to the nature, size, and complexity of the business.
At a minimum, an AML compliance program must include:
AML/CTF Programs are divided into Part A (risk identification, mitigation, and governance) and Part B (customer identification procedures). Failure to maintain a compliant program can lead to regulatory action, penalties, and reputational damage.
An AML compliance program defines the overall framework, governance, and risk controls an organisation uses to meet its AML/CTF obligations. It sets out what controls exist and why they are required under regulation.
An AML procedures program, on the other hand, focuses on how those controls are applied in day-to-day operations. It provides step-by-step instructions for staff, covering customer onboarding, transaction monitoring, reporting thresholds, and escalation processes.
Both components are essential. A well-documented AML compliance program without practical procedures may fail during audits, while procedures without a compliant framework can expose businesses to regulatory risk. Our AML/CFT Program Services ensure both elements are aligned, practical, and fully compliant.
We offer end-to-end support to design, implement, and maintain a comprehensive AML/CTF framework tailored for Australian businesses.

An AML/CTF program is a set of policies, procedures, and controls that help reporting entities identify, mitigate, and manage money laundering and terrorism financing risks in line with AUSTRAC requirements.
Any business that provides designated services under Australian AML/CTF laws, including financial services, real estate, legal, accounting, and Tranche 2 entities, must have an AML/CTF program.
An AML/CTF program typically includes an ML/TF risk assessment, customer identification procedures, ongoing due diligence, transaction monitoring, reporting obligations, and staff training.
An AML/CTF program should be reviewed regularly and whenever there are material changes to business operations, customer types, products, or risk exposure.
Non-compliance can result in regulatory action, civil penalties, enforceable undertakings, and reputational damage.
