Lawyers, accountants and real-estate agents will soon come under Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime, accompanied by obligations to assess the risk of their clients and verify identities. For more complex client groups, this has the potential for delay, costs and confusion, particularly in a multi-advisor environment.

Why you should be suspicious of your clients
How to think about risk in an AML/CTF environment
Working with other advisors, including the role and pitfalls of reliance arrangements
The intersection between AML/CTF and privacy - use disclosure of Know Your Client (KYC) information
Who should watch
Compliance and leadership of Tranche 2 entities, including financial planners, accountants, lawyers, real estate agents.
Level of expertise
This webinar is for persons with a basic knowledge of their entity’s AML/CTF obligations.
