AML CTF Rules 2025

The 2nd AML / CTF Forum willbring together regulators, financial institutions, fintechs, law enforcement, policy makers, academics, and solution providers to advance the global fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CTF).

With accelerating regulatory expectations, rapid innovation in payments and digital assets, and increasingly sophisticated criminal tactics, the event focuses on practical strategies, cross-sector collaboration, and technology-enabled compliance.

What’s New and Why It Matters:

• Tranche 2 coverage: Lawyers, accountants, real estate, trust/company service providers, and precious metals/stones dealers come into scope with risk‑based CDD, ongoing monitoring, and SMRs.
• Beneficial ownership register: Centralized disclosure, verification expectations, and tiered access to lift corporate transparency and disrupt professional enablers.
• Technology and oversight: AUSTRAC analytics‑led supervision, sanctions alignment, stronger model governance, and explainable AI in monitoring.
• Outcomes over outputs: Emphasis on effectiveness—quality over volume in SMRs, quicker interventions, and calibrated de‑risking to preserve financial inclusion.
