AML for the Files on Your Desk Right Now: Answers Your Compliance Program Doesn't Give You Webinar - September 2026 (1 Hour Of CPD)

The dust has settled a bit on the anti-money laundering rules.

Tranche 2 commenced on 1 July. Enrolment closed on 29 July. Most firms have done something — enrolled, appointed a compliance officer, bought a program off the shelf.

But the questions haven't stopped. If anything there are more of them now than there were in June, because firms have moved from reading about the regime to actually applying it to the jobs on their desks. And that is where it falls apart. The guidance tells you what a designated service is. It doesn't tell you whether the Form 484 you lodged last Tuesday was one.

So this session does nothing but answer the questions we are actually being asked.

AML Update for Accountants — September 2026
One hour. No recap of the regime. Just answers.

Questions this webinar covers:

• We moved office and now have to change the registered office address on several hundred client companies. Does that trigger customer due diligence on all of them?
  

• Which ASIC agent activities are designated services — and which aren't? Form 484s, annual reviews, deregistrations, share transfers.
  

• Who actually has to register? And what happens if you should have enrolled by 29 July and didn't?
  

• A client wants to talk about restructuring. How much can I discuss before the obligation attaches?
  

• Are trust distribution minutes a designated service? Is varying a deed? Is replacing a constitution?
  

• When I set up a company and a family trust, who exactly is my customer?
  

• Do I have to risk rate my whole client base, or only the clients receiving designated services?
  

• A screening check returned a hit that clearly isn't my client. What do I put on the file?
  

• My client only wants a tax return. Why is my software asking me to run AML checks on them?
  

• Is there really a three-year transition period for customer due diligence?
  

• And much, much more
