FAQ: AML/CTF for Accountants

Answers to key compliance questions.

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 the firm and client level, aligned with AUSTRAC guidance.

Preparation is expected to begin by 31 March 2026, with the new AML/CTF regime taking effect from 1 July 2026.Firms are expected to be able to justify their AML decisions, including historical client decisions, once the regime commences.‍

Existing clients are not exempt. Firms are expected to apply a risk-based review of their existing client base, prioritising higher-risk clients and documenting the rationale for decisions made.
