Join SMSF Association Head of Membership & Corporate Development, Neil Sparks and guest speaker for the In Practice Webinar Series.

In Practice is a monthly session of peer-to-peer learning, by Advisers for Advisers.

Please note: the June webinar is scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of the month.

This month’s topic: AML/CTF Tranche 2 – What it means for accountants and advisers in practice
Presented by Keddie Waller
Policy Manager, SMSF Association

Overview
After many years of delay, Tranche 2 of the AML/CTF reforms will now commence on 1 July 2026. Common services such as setting up trusts, including SMSFs, handling client payments, and facilitating debt or asset financing will soon be regulated, requiring accountants to enrol with AUSTRAC and comply with new obligations. With a little more than a year now until these significant reforms commence, being unprepared could have serious consequences for your practice and your clients.

Importantly, if you are a financial adviser the expanded services have also introduced grey areas that may also impact your current AML/CTF obligations.

Join this webinar to understand what the changes mean for you and the practical steps you and your business can take now to prepare and be ready for the new regime.
