Service Offerings
AML/CTF Program Development & Implementation
Every regulated entity needs a written AML/CTF Program to manage compliance. We develop comprehensive, customised compliance programs that include:
- Risk Assessment: Thorough analysis of your specific money laundering and terrorism financing risks
- Policy & Procedure Documentation: Clearly written, AUSTRAC-compliant documentation
- Implementation Roadmap: Step-by-step guidance for rolling out your compliance program
- Governance Framework: Defined roles, responsibilities, and reporting structures
- Ongoing Support: Regular updates as regulatory guidance evolves
Benefit: A robust, defensible compliance program tailored to your specific business without the high cost of consultants or in-house expertise.
Customer Due Diligence & Onboarding
One of the most critical and resource-intensive aspects of AML/CTF compliance is Customer Due Diligence—verifying the identity of your clients and assessing their risk profile. Our dedicated team handles:
- Identity Verification: Using Australian-recognised methods to verify client identities
- Beneficial Owner Verification: Identifying and verifying the ultimate beneficial owners behind complex structures
- PEP & Sanctions Screening: Checking against politically exposed persons and sanctions lists
- Customer Risk Assessment: Categorising clients based on risk factors
- Documentation Management: Secure storage of all verification records
Benefit: Professional customer verification without disrupting your client relationships or burdening your team with administrative tasks.
Transaction Monitoring & Risk Management
AML/CTF regulations require ongoing monitoring of client transactions to identify suspicious activity. Our transaction monitoring service includes:
- Alert Management: Review of transaction alerts based on risk parameters
- Risk Pattern Analysis: Identification of unusual transaction patterns
- Periodic Client Reviews: Regular re-screening and risk reassessment
- Documentation & Evidence Collection: Gathering and organising supporting information
- Escalation Procedures: Clear processes for handling potential suspicious matters
Benefit: Continuous oversight of transaction risks without building costly internal monitoring capabilities.
Suspicious Matter Reporting Support
Reporting certain transactions and suspicious matters to AUSTRAC is a key compliance obligation. Our team provides:
- SMR Preparation: Professional drafting of Suspicious Matter Reports
- Quality Assurance: Review of reports for accuracy and completeness
- Submission Support: Assistance with AUSTRAC reporting procedures
- Record-Keeping: Comprehensive documentation of reporting activities
- Follow-up Actions: Guidance on post-reporting procedures
Benefit: Expert assistance with critical regulatory reporting while maintaining ultimate control over submissions.
Recordkeeping & Compliance Documentation
Maintaining documentation for at least 7 years is a core requirement of the AML/CTF regime. Our service provides:
- Digital Documentation Management: Secure, organised storage of all compliance records
- Audit Trail Maintenance: Tracking of all compliance activities and decisions
- Evidence Preservation: Proper retention of all verification and monitoring documentation
- Retrieval Systems: Quick access to records when needed for audits or reviews
