AUSTRAC publishes guidance and checklist to help Reporting Entities select an appropriate AML-CTF Adviser.

In June 2023, AUSTRAC published updated guidance on selecting an appropriate AML/CTF specialist adviser.


Whether your business needs an AML/CTF Adviser will depend on the size, nature, or level of risk your business operates under.


An AML/CTF Adviser can help you to:

  • develop a tailored money laundering and terrorism financing risk assessment for your business;

  • build your understanding of the AML/CTF risks facing your sector and business;

  • provide advice on your AML/CTF obligations;

  • train your staff on AML/CTF matters; and

  • conduct independent reviews of your AML/CTF program.


AUSTRAC has also published a checklist which contains:

  • the factors businesses should consider when engaging a potential AML/CTF Adviser; and

  • the services the Adviser will be responsible for.


The updated guidance and checklist can be accessed here.


P.S. For the more visually-inclined: Check out also this Gen Advisory infographic, which visually illustrates the above AUSTRAC guidance.
