Navigating Australia’s AML/CTF Reforms

Insights and opportunities for Tranche 2 entities

As seats are limited, registration is mandatory and subject to confirmation.

Hear from industry experts and Moody’s financial crime practice leads on navigating AUSTRAC’s regulatory reforms for Tranche 2 entities.  

The AML/CTF Amendment Bill 2024, which was passed by the Parliament of Australia in November 2024, includes new regulatory reforms to strengthen Australia’s fight against financial crime, money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing. The Bill would bring additional Tranche 2 entities under AUSTRAC’s oversight, increasing the reporting population from approximately 17,000 to 90,000 entities when the regulation takes effect in 2026.  


Through a blend of plenary and breakout sessions led by industry peers and Moody’s financial crime practice lead, this event aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current regulatory landscape and the anticipated reforms that will shape financial crime compliance in Australia.  


Representatives from Tranche 2 entities and Moody’s will lead sector-specific breakout sessions, providing insight on implementing tailored AML/CTF programs and how other organizations are adapting to the reforms. This is a unique opportunity to network and engage in meaningful discourse with Australia’s compliance practitioners on the upcoming regulatory changes.  


Please note that this event will be held under Chatham House Rule.
