AML Day - Chance to Run Through AML with Others and Complete Risk Policy and Other Documents

Dear Colleagues, 

As the introduction of AML/CMTF provisions gets closer and with the release of the Austrac Starter Kits for Law Firms and Conveyancers, it is proposed by the NNWLS to run a workshop for AML Officers and Principals in Tamworth on the 13th April to enable all firms (particularly the firms with less than 15 staff and sole practitioners) to discuss these provisions, work through the starter kits (or alternatives) and share information so we can as a region be ready for AML.

Further resources will be produced by the Law Society of NSW which will assist with using the Starter Kits (as most firms will need to complete the starter kit for both Law Firms and Conveyancers unfortunately) and these will be utlised to help all firms get a good understanding of what compliance looks like and how to do it. 

This is one of the greatest challenges that has affected Law Firms in many years so working together to get the region through will benefit the whole region.

So that we can arrange the logistics and specialists in this area for this event Principals, can you please reply indicating if this is of interest to your firm. There will be no charge for the event and we anticipate it running from 11 to 3 to assist with the travel requirements and we will also provide lunch for all attendees. It woudl be beneficial if firms send their AML officer (who may or may not be a Principal of the firm) and a Principal (as they are ultimately responsible) so that we can help make the transition as simple as possible for all. 

Whilst products offerred by providers such as infotrack will assit with meeting AML requirements there are still quite specific firm centric tasks (such as criminal record checks on staff) which will need to be done so it is important to have as much information as possible. 

Please RSVP by 6 April 2026 for catering purposes.
