About the Webinar

The extension of Australia’s AML/CTF regime to accountants is no longer on the horizon — it is imminent. This session focuses on the practical steps accountants must take to be compliant by 1 July 2026, cutting through the uncertainty and highlighting where firms are most exposed if they delay or get it wrong. It examines the practical steps your firm must take to be compliant on day one, highlighting where accountants are most likely to fall short and what needs to be prioritised now.

  • Which services and engagements will bring your firm within scope, and where accountants are likely to misjudge their exposure
  • The core AML/CTF obligations in practice, including customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring and reporting triggers
  • What your AML program must contain, and how to structure Part A and Part B in a way that is workable for your firm
  • How to assess and document your firm’s AML risk profile, including higher-risk clients, industries and structures
  • The common implementation mistakes, from informal processes to over-reliance on existing client knowledge
  • AUSTRAC’s likely enforcement approach, and the real regulatory and reputational consequences of non-compliance
  • A clear, practical action plan to ensure your firm is ready for 1 July 2026
