From Tuesday 14 June to Friday 24 June 2011, AUSTRAC will be conducting an online survey of reporting entities that act as financial services intermediaries by arranging for another person to deal in a financial product (the item 54 designated services of arranging another financial service). Only organisations that provide financial intermediary services will be invited to complete the survey.
The survey has been approved by the Australian Government Statistical Clearing House. The approval number is 02193-01.
Under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006, reporting entities are required to submit various reports to AUSTRAC. Reports provided to AUSTRAC are analysed and may be disseminated to law enforcement, revenue collection, national security or social justice agencies, as well as certain international bodies. AUSTRAC examines these reports for activities and patterns that may indicate money laundering, terrorism financing or other criminal activities.
The survey will assist AUSTRAC to better understand how organisations that provide financial intermediary services are meeting their obligations under the Act. In particular, it focuses on how organisations are managing their money laundering/terrorism financing (ML/TF) risks and their suspicious matter reporting obligations. Key findings and aggregated data from the survey will be provided to reporting entities.
