How does this affect you?
Many provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 became effective on 12 December 2007. The Australian Government introduced the Act to reduce the risk of Australian businesses being misused for the purposes of money laundering or financing terrorism.
The AML/CTF Act requires businesses that provide certain financial services, to:
- identify customers before providing those services;
- report transactions above a determined amount, and;
- from December 2008 report suspicious transactions.
Elders Forestry has changed the way in which we identify and verify new customers to comply with the AML/CTF Act. We have adopted the IFSA/FPA guidelines and forms.
