Unpacking the new AML/CFT obligations for Professional Services 2025

Description

Individual Customer Risk Ratings

From 1 June 2025, all law and accounting practices captured under the AML/CFT Act will be required to risk-rate clients when onboarding them, and consider risk as part of ongoing CDD.

This is a shift towards a true risk-based approach for all reporting entities, and means law and accounting practices captured by the AML/CFT Act will need to change how they onboard clients.

Join our webinar where we will discuss the upcoming changes and how they will impact your firm, so you can effectively prepare.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • What an individual and matter risk assessment should consider
  • How to risk-rate clients
  • How to incorporate this into your internal processes, meaningfully

This webinar is hosted by AML Solutions and is suitable for AML/CFT Compliance Officers, Compliance Staff, and all Lawyers and Accountants who onboard clients.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Understand the requirement to risk-rate clients
  • Understand the obligations around risk-rating clients
  • Be able to describe how and when to risk-rate clients

SUITED TO

Compliance Officers and Staff, Lawyers and Accountants who onboard their clients.
