Reporting forms (FTR Act)

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'.
