New AML & CTF Obligations: An Action Plan for Accountants

Think you provide a Designated Service that now falls under AUSTRAC’s latest Tranche 2 reforms? This webinar will get you ready – before new legislation comes into effect from 1 July 2026.

Designed specifically for accounting professionals, this pragmatic session summarises exactly what the new Anti‑Money Laundering (AML) and Counter‑Terrorism Financing (CTF) obligations mean for you and how to tackle them.

This is not a high-level policy discussion. As an attendee, you’ll receive clarity, tools and actionable steps, empowering you to run your practice and comply with confidence.

Listen in as Charles Cheah and Gena Kawaguchi – Partners at Brown Wright Stein, specialising in corporate compliance – outline what you need to know and do.

This session covers how to:

1. Identify, assess, and manage risk for Designated Services

2. Perform Customer Due Diligence

3. Register your practice with AUSTRAC as a reporting entity 

4. Update or develop your compulsory AML/CTF program 

5. Satisfy monitoring and reporting requirements

6. Prepare IT systems and documentation processes

7. Train partners and staff

8. Appoint an AML/CTF compliance officer
