On 31 March 2026, it won’t be enough to say you have controls—you’ll need to show them. AUSTRAC’s reform record‑keeping guidance emphasises retention, security, and being able to retrieve records for review.

We help Clubs build practical record‑keeping and evidence frameworks that stand up to independent evaluation and regulator review.

If you want confidence heading into 31 March 2026, an independent evaluation can identify gaps early, test what’s actually happening on the floor, and provide an uplift plan before reform scrutiny increases.

We run independent evaluations that assess risk assessment, policy design, and implementation effectiveness.

The reforms taking effect on 31 March 2026 focus heavily on whether your AML/CTF policies (procedures, systems and controls) actually manage and mitigate your risks and meet your obligations—tailored to your Club’s size, nature and complexity.

We can uplift your policy suite (CDD, monitoring, sanctions/PEPs, SMRs, tipping-off, record keeping, training) so it’s ready for 31 March 2026.

With 31 March 2026 approaching, Clubs should be pressure-testing whether their ML/TF (and PF) risk assessment is current and fit for purpose—especially if you operate multiple venues or have different customer profiles across sites.

We deliver venue-by-venue risk assessments that translate directly into controls, monitoring and training for that venue.

31 March 2026 is the line in the sand for Australia’s AML/CTF reforms. If your Club provides designated services, you’ll need an AML/CTF program that is risk-based, documented, approved, and implemented—not just “on file”.

We can help you uplift your program now: venue risk assessments, tailored policies/procedures, and implementation support.

AUSTRAC’s reforms guidance is clear: AML/CTF policies are your procedures, systems and controls working together to manage ML/TF and PF risks and meet your obligations. Generic templates are a red flag if they don’t reflect your venue realities (MTGMs, EGMs, payouts, cash handling, monitoring, staffing).

You must tailor your policies and procedures to your risk assessment and club operations.

Many AML/CTF failures come down to records: incomplete evidence, inaccessible files, or weak controls over sensitive information. AUSTRAC’s record‑keeping checklist highlights retention, security, and audit readiness expectations.

We help clubs design record‑keeping systems that are practical, secure, and review-ready.

Reform readiness means being able to evidence what works—not just what’s written. AUSTRAC’s guidance explains what an independent evaluation must cover (risk assessment, policy design, and testing of implementation) and sets a minimum frequency expectation.

We conduct structured independent evaluations and give you a clear uplift roadmap.

One-size-fits-all doesn’t work for clubs with multiple venues. AUSTRAC expects you to identify and assess ML/TF risks across your designated services, customers, delivery channels and countries—including proliferation financing.

We can build or refresh venue-specific risk assessments that directly drive your controls and monitoring approach.
