Anti-Money Laundering New Reporting Entities Advanced Training Course (AUS Version)

$27.50 inc. GST

This course prepares principals, partners, and compliance officers in newly regulated Tranche 2 businesses to build and run an anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) program from the ground up. It covers how to determine whether a business is a reporting entity, how to enrol with AUSTRAC, and how to design, implement, and maintain an AML/CTF program — including customer due diligence, suspicious matter reporting, and record keeping obligations.

Built for Australian legal, accounting, real estate, precious metals and stones, and trust and company service businesses now subject to AML/CTF obligations for the first time, this course gives decision-makers a working understanding of what the law requires and how to put it into practice. Learners receive an instant digital certificate on completion, giving businesses a documented record of program-level compliance training.

This course will take approximately 81 minutes to complete.

Why is the Anti-Money Laundering New Reporting Entities Advanced Training Important?

From 1 July 2026, lawyers, conveyancers, accountants, real estate agents, dealers in precious metals and stones, trust and company service providers, and a wider range of virtual asset service providers will become subject to AML/CTF obligations for the first time. For these newly regulated businesses, the risk isn’t abstract — professional services firms are actively targeted by criminals looking to exploit weak or absent controls.

This course maps to obligations set out in the AML/CTF Act, including enrolment with AUSTRAC, customer due diligence, reporting, and record-keeping requirements.

Failing to meet these obligations carries real consequences, including civil and criminal penalties and professional disciplinary action from the relevant regulatory body. Completing this course gives principals and compliance officers a working framework for meeting their obligations and protecting the business from that exposure.
