ABOUT THE seminar

From 1 July 2026, many accounting services will be regulated under Australia’s expanded AML/CTF regime. These changes will affect common activities such as setting up companies and trusts, acting as a registered office, assisting with business sales, restructures, equity or debt financing, acting as a director/nominee shareholder and managing client funds.

This seminar cuts through the uncertainty and focuses on what puts accountants in scope.

We will cover:

• Which accounting services are now regulated services and which are not, including practical examples relevant to accountants

• The practical line between general advice and regulated conduct

• When AML/CTF obligations are triggered during transactions

• What enrolment with AUSTRAC involves and key deadlines

• Key AML/CTF obligations and compliance steps

This session is designed for partners, directors and senior staff in accounting firms who want a clear, practical understanding of their obligations and how to prepare their firm before the regime commences.

This seminar will be held only in-person to facilitate a Q&A session with attendees at the conclusion of the seminar.
