Are you ready for Australia’s Tranche 2 reforms?

Starting on July 1, 2026, legal professionals, real estate agents, accountants, and other DNFBPs—including real estate agents and accountants—will face new AML/CTF obligations.

Non-compliance risks penalties, client trust, and reputation.

To help the legal sector prepare, ACAMS and the Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) have partnered to deliver AML/CTF training designed for legal practitioners.

This reflects a broader trend: AML/CTF regulations are expanding across industries. For DNFBPs, the ACAMS AML General Awareness course offers a practical, accessible starting point to understanding financial crime risks and controls.

Start now. Let’s build the right training program for you or your team.

They also talk about Tigran’s role as a blockchain forensics pioneer documented by Andy in his book, and what each sees as the opportunities and challenges associated with the rise of digital assets.
