The recent amendments to the AML/CFT Act dramatically increase the scope of the compliance regime, bringing into the fold (at staggered intervals) lawyers, conveyancers, accountants, real estate agents, trust and company service providers and high-value dealers.
The Anti-Money Laundering Regime: A Practical Guide provides an objective, all-in-one resource summarising key concepts of the Act, explaining the risk-based approach taken by legislators and the supervisors, exploring in detail key concepts such as the application of the Act, the policies, procedures and controls needed to meet those risks and the key obligation to undertake the appropriate level of customer due diligence in various contexts, and the complex reporting obligations contained in the Act.
