Where Do I Actually Start? - AML Accountants Forum #3
Description
The question that kept coming up: "Where do I actually start?"
New AML/CTF regulations come into force on 1 July 2026. You've heard about the obligations, you've seen the deadlines, but now you need a practical roadmap. This month we're cutting through the noise and giving you a clear starting point.
This Session
1. What You Can Do Right Now vs What Can Wait Not everything needs to happen immediately. We'll separate the urgent from the "nice to have" and help you prioritise.
2. Your Practical Timeline A realistic breakdown of what to focus on each month between now and July 2026. No more guessing what comes next.
3. What You Can Implement Today - Without Waiting for AUSTRAC - AUSTRAC's sector-specific guidance is still coming, but there's plenty you can get started on now. We'll show you what.
4. Where to Focus Your Energy (And Where Not to Waste It) Some firms are overthinking this. Others are ignoring it completely. We'll help you find the middle ground.
