As of 1 July 2026, all firms like ours will be subject to new anti-money laundering (AML) regulations under Australian law. As a result, we may be required to request identity documents or additional information as part of our engagement process.
Although we have no reason to believe that any of our clients are engaging in suspicious or prohibited behaviour, the regulations are designed to protect the country from financial crime and align Australia with international standards. The regulations do not allow us to exclude any clients from these requirements.
A primary part of these changes may require us to ask you, or an appropriate person in your organisation for documentation showing ownership and control.
We are preparing for these changes now so we can make the process as smooth as possible. You can read more about our approach here. We will be in touch again to explain the impact, if any, on you. In the meantime, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
