Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Act is designed to stop illegal funds from entering the financial system.

Professional services firms are required by law to maintain a robust compliance framework to keep crime out of our communities.

We are required to:

  • Monitor client activity and report suspicious behaviour
  • Verify client identity
  • Assess the risk of money laundering or terrorism financing

We’re required by law to apply consistent checks to everyone and verify our clients.

From us, you can expect:

  • A clear explanation of what’s required
  • Secure handling of your information
  • A streamlined experience supported by technology
