AML/CTF Obligations for Law Firms

Law practices providing designated services under the AML/CTF Act must implement and maintain a compliance AML framework. Key obligations include:

Establish and maintain an AML/CTF program

Captured firms must develop a documented AML/CTF program tailored to their specific risk profile. This includes policies, procedures, and controls to identify, assess, and manage money laundering and terrorism financing risk. The program must be reviewed periodically and updated as circumstances change.


Conduct Customer Due Diligence (CDD/KYC)

Before providing designated services, firms must verify client identity. This includes:

  • Confirming individual or entity identity

  • Identifying beneficial owners

  • Understanding source of funds and source of wealth where required.

Enhanced due diligence applies to higher-risk matters or clients.


Ongoing Client Monitoring

Firms must monitor client relationships and transactions throughout the engagement. This involves identifying unusual behaviour, inconsistencies with the client risk profile, and material changes in ownership or control.

Suspicious Matter Reports (SMRs)

If a firm forms a suspicion of money laundering, terrorism financing, or related criminal conduct, it must lodge a report with AUSTRAC within the prescribed timeframes (generally within 3 business days, or 24 hours for terrorism financing concerns).


Other reports (e.g. TTRs, EFTIs)

Where applicable, firms must report cash transactions exceeding $10,000 and certain cross-border funds transfers.


Staff training

Relevant staff must receive ongoing AML/CTF training appropriate to their role. Training records must be retained.


Independent Evaluation

An external independent evaluation of the AML/CTF program must be conducted at regular intervals to assess effectiveness and compliance.
