AML/CTF Compliance for Accountants

The Tranche 2 deadline has already passed.

If your practice provides company formation, registered office, trustee, or nominee director services, AUSTRAC enrolment was due 29 July 2026. Get compliant properly — not with a generic template that ignores what you actually do.

The problem

"We just do tax and BAS" isn't always a get-out.

Most accountants think Tranche 2 doesn't apply to them. Some are right. Many are wrong — and don't find out until it's too late.

SCOPE CONFUSION

Do you actually provide a designated service?

Registered office, company formation, acting as director or nominee shareholder — these aren't "extras." If you provide them, you're a reporting entity, full stop.

GENERIC TEMPLATES

A risk assessment that just describes risk isn't enough.

AUSTRAC expects a decision on every risk factor — accept or decline, with a documented control. Most templates on the market are read-and-nod documents that won't hold up.

REAL PENALTIES

Civil penalties apply, and AUSTRAC is actively enforcing.

This isn't a "get to it eventually" obligation. Enrolment, a documented program, and ongoing CDD are required before you provide another designated service.

How it works

From unsure to compliant, in three steps

1

Check your scope

Work out exactly which designated services you provide — and which of your work is genuinely out of scope.

2

Build your Program

Complete the decision-register risk assessment, set up CDD, and put your reporting procedures in place.

3

Approve, enrol, operate

Get senior manager sign-off, enrol with AUSTRAC, train your staff, and start running the Program day to day.

Who it's for

Built for accountants, not generic reporting entities

Sole practitioners

You wear every hat already. Get a Program you can implement yourself in an afternoon, without hiring a compliance team you don't need.

Small to mid-size firms

Multiple staff, multiple client types. You need clear role separation — frontline CDD, Compliance Officer sign-off — and training that scales.

Firms providing trust & company services

Registered office, nominee director, company and trust formation. These carry specific risk factors most generic templates barely mention — ask us about our TCSP-focused program.

Finally a compliance document that doesn't read like it was copy-pasted from a government PDF. It actually reflects how our practice works.
