ComplianceLink.
Built for Tranche 2 accounting practices.
AUSTRAC's Tranche 2 reforms require a documented, risk-based AML/CTF framework. Bring your firm’s documentation into a structured, defensible position before enrolment opens.
Have confidence in your AML decisions
Designed for accounting and bookkeeping practices preparing for AML/CTF Tranche 2 — not generic compliance software.
Focus effort where risk actually exists
Identify higher risk clients using regulator flagged indicators — so partners can focus attention where it matters, rather than revisiting low-risk files.
A documented and defensible AML position
Structured, regulator aligned rationale for each client decision — at both firm and client level. Clear records if your approach is ever reviewed.
Works with your existing systems
No rebuild required. ComplianceLink sits alongside your current tools and applies structured risk review across your existing client base from day one.
Start with a readiness diagnostic
Review your current AML/CTF approach and identify where it may need tightening before the reforms take effect.
How ComplianceLink works
Four steps to get your practice Tranche 2 ready — applied across your existing client base.
Triage your entire client base
Import your existing client list and ComplianceLink assigns an interim risk tier to each client — flagging who may require escalation and who does not. No manual review of each client required to begin.
Manage escalated clients through full CDD review
Clients flagged during triage flow into the CDD Case Management workspace. Partners have full visibility over open cases — who's been escalated, what's in progress, and what's been completed.
Full risk assessment — at firm and client level
Partners are familiar with the firm-level AUSTRAC risk assessment. ComplianceLink applies the same standard to individual clients — generating a documented risk rating, score and key risk drivers for each one.
Stay current as AUSTRAC guidance evolves
Tranche 2 compliance isn't a one-time project. AUSTRAC guidance develops over time, your client base changes, and new risk indicators emerge. ComplianceLink keeps your framework current — so you're never caught unprepared at renewal or review.
Our risk framework is mapped directly against AUSTRAC's firm-level guidance — start with a diagnostic to see how it applies to your practice.
AML/CTF Tranche 2 questions, answered
Under the AML/CTF Tranche 2 reforms, accounting and bookkeeping firms that provide certain designated services will be required to comply with AML/CTF obligations. This includes adopting a risk-based approach at both firm and client level, in line with AUSTRAC guidance.
Enrolment opens on 31 March 2026, with the new AML/CTF regime taking effect from 1 July 2026. From commencement, firms are expected to be able to justify their AML decisions, including those made in relation to existing clients.
Existing clients are not automatically exempt. From commencement, firms must apply a risk-based approach to their existing client base, prioritising higher-risk clients and documenting the rationale for decisions made.
ComplianceLink is designed specifically to support structured review of legacy client files, without requiring re-onboarding of each client.
Yes. We support firms through initial setup, including firm-level risk assessment, framework configuration, and guidance on reviewing existing clients. ComplianceLink is designed to layer onto your existing systems and workflows. No rebuild required.
