AML MASTERCLASS

From 1 July 2026, law, accounting, conveyancing and real estate firms must comply with AUSTRAC’s expanded AML/CTF regime. There will be no soft launch and no grace period for getting it wrong.


For small and medium firms, this is not just a legal update. It is a whole-of-firm change. Firms will need to design and document an AML/CTF Program and Risk Assessment, train staff, define responsibilities, build workflows for customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring and reporting, and choose technology that keeps records clear and audit-ready.


Most firms will wait, then scramble. They will spend more than they need to, choose the wrong software, and bolt on policies that do not stand up in practice.

The AML/CTF Masterclass is designed to help you avoid that.


This course is built for busy small and medium firms that want a practical path forward, not a textbook. It gives you a structured way to build your framework properly, with guidance that is clear, realistic and designed for the way professional firms actually operate.


What you’ll get

  • Step-by-step guidance to build your AML/CTF Program and Risk Assessment
  • Ready-to-use templates for policies, reporting and recordkeeping
  • Clear criteria for choosing technology that can reduce compliance time significantly
  • Practical coaching to turn obligations into simple daily processes
     

You do not need a full-time compliance officer to get started well. You need a clear plan, proven documents and workable systems designed for firms like yours.


What the course covers

We cover the core components of an effective AML/CTF framework, including:

  • Program development
  • Risk assessment
  • Independent reviews
  • Awareness training
  • Regulator intervention response
     

The course is led by a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist who works with small and medium professional firms every day.

Get ahead of the 1 July 2026 deadline and build a compliance framework you can defend.

Our approach is built on three principles:

 We make the requirements understandable and manageable, so you can move forward with confidence. 

 We focus on what works inside actual firms, not theory. That means practical systems, clear responsibilities and processes your team can follow. 

 We help you put the right tools around the right decisions, so compliance becomes faster, cleaner and easier to maintain.
