What you need to do

Understanding and managing your money laundering and terrorism financing risks underpins compliance with your anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations. It is an important step in protecting your business, the community and the Australian financial system. 

Read the indicator guidance relevant to your industry and be on the lookout for suspicious activity. If you identify suspicious activity, you must conduct enhanced customer due diligence in line with your AML/CTF program and submit a suspicious matter report to AUSTRAC within the required timeframe.
