AML/CTF CPD

So you know you’re caught by the new AML laws but you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re still not sure if you are caught. If you fall into one of these categories this presentation is for you. Brendan Leighton is local solicitor who just happens to be on the QLS Business Advisory Panel, specifically to help legal practitioners with AML compliance.

The session will provide some practical tips on preparing your AML policies and procedures. It will also examine some of the AML outsourcing services currently on offer and different pricing models.

The AUSTRAC ‘starter kit’ is quite complex and has created some confusion for practitioners.  The session will provide you with practical guidance on finalising your AML policies and procedures.

AML compliance is not something that can be fully delegated to your practice manager or outsourced to third party suppliers. Your AML policies and procedures must reflect the nature and scope of your operations. If these policies and procedures are incorrectly set, you will fail your external independent review, resulting in an adverse report being filed with AUSTRAC.

By the end of this one hour session you will have clarity on what you need to do to be fully compliant by 1 July. Principal solicitors are encouraged to attend with their practice managers.
