Are You Ready for Tranche 2 AML/CTF Reforms?
Understanding AML/CTF Obligations for Accountants
Tranche 2 AML/CTF reforms are extending Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing obligations to accountants in Australia. As a “reporting entity,” your practice will need to implement a robust AML/CTF program and comply with new legal requirements.
The Significant Impact of Tranche 2 AML/CTF Reforms
Tranche 2 reforms will require accountants to conduct client risk assessments, implement Customer Due Diligence (CDD) processes, report suspicious matters to AUSTRAC, and establish comprehensive AML/CTF Programs – demanding significant changes to your practice.
