AUSTRAC e-learning modules
To support reporting entities understand and comply with their AML CTF obligations, AUSTRAC has created an E-Learning Centre with 10 learning modules.
Modules 1 to 4 are relevant to businesses new to AML CTF or seeking to build an understanding of their core AML CTF obligations.
Modules 5 to 10 take a deeper dive into specific aspects of reporting obligations.
The modules are self-paced and combine interactive questions with short videos. Each module takes up to 20 minutes to complete.
Please note the modules have been developed for a tranche I and II audience (i.e. they are not designed specifically for the legal profession). The modules are useful to increase understanding of what money laundering and terrorism financing activities look like in practice and to provide practical insights into specific aspects of the reporting obligations (e.g. suspicious matter reports, investigations into beneficial ownership, etc).
