Accountants: July is approaching fast.

The Institute of Public Accountants has flagged what many firms are only just realising:
AML/CTF obligations apply from 1 July 2026.

AML/CTF is not a software purchase. It is a people-led process that requires:
• Real judgment
• Real decisions
• Real flexibility

At AML Assist, we help practices get genuinely July-ready, assessing whether you’re captured, building a fit-for-purpose AML/CTF program, and training your people to apply judgment (not just click buttons).

• No tech shortcuts.
• No over-designed processes.
• Just real people helping real practices.

Just real people helping real practices meet their obligations with confidence.

Book a July readiness call and take the pressure off the deadline:

⚖️ AML/CTF isn’t a one‑off task — it’s about to become business as usual.

In Australia, from 1 July 2026, legal and conveyancing firms providing designated services must manage ongoing AML/CTF obligations as part of their daily work.

What does that actually look like in practice?

Join our Panel Q&A webinar with AML experts from AML Assist Ltd, Dye and Durham and Realaml where we will cover:
✔️ Real‑world CDD scenarios
✔️ ID verification, PEP & sanctions screening
✔️ Beneficial ownership for trusts & companies
✔️ Handling PEP matches and SMRs
This session is designed for firms wanting clear, practical guidance.

The July 2026 AML deadline marks the start of a new regulatory standard.

Join Craig Treder (Director, AML Assist) and Steven Richardson (Co‑Founder, SILQ Legal Software) for a practical, plain‑English breakdown of what AML compliance actually looks like for legal practices.

This webinar cuts through the complexity and translates AML/CTF obligations into a clear, actionable roadmap — no prior AML expertise required.

We’ll cover:
🔵 How to identify designated services and whether your firm is captured under the Act
🔵 Your firm’s obligations and what must be in place by 1 July 2026
🔵 Building effective frontline processes to avoid common industry oversights
🔵 A first look at how SILQ’s latest features help automate and streamline AML requirements

At AML Assist, we believe in partnerships, not just projects. We work alongside firms to help them stay compliant well beyond the July deadline.
