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, The Law Society of NSW)
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.
