The Financial Transaction Reports Act 1988 (FTR Act) requires 'cash dealers' to report the following types of transactions to the Chief Executive Officer of AUSTRAC:
- international funds transfer instructions
- significant cash transactions
- suspect transactions.
Solicitors are required to report significant cash transactions to which they are a party.
On 12 December 2008, reporting obligations commenced under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act) for 'reporting entities'.
