AMLS in Action - Finalise Your Risk Assessment

AMLS in Action – Finalising Your Risk Assessment
Fortnightly webinar series for Australian law firms
A robust AML/CTF risk assessment sits at the heart of every effective compliance
programme—and under Tranche 2, it will form one of the most scrutinised
documents in any law firm. But for many practices, knowing how to finish the
assessment is just as challenging as knowing how to start.
In this AMLS in Action session, we’ll guide you through the final steps of creating a
clear, proportionate, and defensible AML/CTF risk assessment tailored to your firm’s
real risks—not a generic template.
