FRAMEWORK

ComplianceLink Framework

Documented, risk-based AML workflows designed for Australian accounting and bookkeeping practices preparing for the Tranche 2 reforms, calibrated to firm size, client volume, and governance requirements

ComplianceLink provides structured workflow tooling and governance infrastructure. Regulatory responsibility and client risk decisions remain with the firm.

Start with a diagnostic

Each engagement begins with a structured diagnostic to understand:

Existing client onboarding processes

Risk categorisation methodology

Documentation standards

Governance review cadence

From there, the framework is implemented proportionate to firm size, client volume and governance structure.

How It Works

We help you formalise AML workflows and documentation in line with regulatory expectations

ComplianceLink works alongside your existing systems rather than requiring a rebuild.

The framework is applied to your firm's specific client base, existing processes, and governance structure, with implementation proportionate to firm size and client complexity.
