The Industry Collective Speaks - Virtual Event

Event Description

Four sectors. One room. One conversation.

Australia has never had a cross-sector AML/CTF forum like this. Every conversation to date has happened within a single industry, in isolation. That ends here.

 

For the first time, accounting, real estate, legal and conveyancing professionals will share one forum, one panel, and one resolution, as the 1 July deadline approaches and obligations become real.

Why the collective matters

Each profession sees a different dimension of the same risk:

  • Accounting knows the structure of the entity – who owns it, how it’s layered, where the money flows (Jill Muir, Senior Policy Advocate, Chartered Accountants ANZ)
  • Real estate controls the mechanics of the transfer – the property, the price, the transaction (Nicole Unger, General Counsel, REINSW)
  • Legal holds the identity and intent of the parties – the instructions behind the deal (Bobbie Wan, Head of Regulatory Policy and Strategy, NSW Law Society)
  • Conveyancing executes the settlement – the final link in a chain every profession touches (Jennie Tonner, President, AICNSW)

 

No single profession has ever had a complete line of sight. This forum, for the first time, will.

What you will leave with

  • A perspective you cannot get elsewhere. The only forum convening all four Tranche 2 professions at once. No other event offers this vantage point.
  • A benchmark for your own readiness. Understand where your firm sits relative to peers.
  • Clarity on what “ready” actually looks like. Hear directly from AUSTRAC on the difference between a programme that exists and one that would withstand review.
  • Answers to the questions you haven’t been able to ask. Reliance across parties, the tension between compliance and client relationships, and consumer obligations, explored through real scenarios, not hypotheticals.
  • Immediate next steps you can act on. Post-event sector guides and on-demand resources to close gaps in your program before and after 1 July.

Featured Speaker

Brendan Thomas, Chief Executive Officer, AUSTRAC

Australia’s financial intelligence chief opens the forum with a direct address on what a compliant program looks like in practice, and what the risk-based approach actually demands of Tranche 2 entities.

 

1 July is not a soft deadline. Come ready. Leave prepared.
