AML/CTF Training

What is AML?

Global financial crime regulators aim for a financial system free from abuse. As Australia’s financial crime agency, AUSTRAC’s purpose is to build resilience in the financial system and use financial intelligence and regulation to disrupt money laundering, terrorism financing, and other serious crime.

According to Australian Institute of Criminology estimates cited by AUSTRAC in its Money laundering in Australia national risk assessment 2024 serious and organised crime, with illicit financing at its core, costs Australia up to $68.7 billion annually.

Did you know that AML/CTF law relies on regulated entities like yours to identify, mitigate and manage their ML/TF risk? Australia’s regulatory framework and AUSTRAC actually trust that you will follow sound AML/CTF practices, as you are best placed to risk assess your ML/TF risk, based on the nature, size, and complexity of your business activities and the customers you serve.

The AML/CTF Act is part of a legislative package that represents Australia’s following of FATF recommendations – an international standard countries implement, adapted to their particular circumstances.

Why is AML/CTF important?

With AML/CTF reforms taking effect from 2026, Financial Education Professionals has developed three levels of risk awareness training to assist your organisation to proactively review and update impacted teams’ AML-specific and general risk management capability and accountability.
