AML/CTF Risk Assessment Register table with risk levels and controls

About this Document

Use this bundle if you:
  • Operate a managed investment scheme or fund business that provides a designated service under the Australian AML/CTF regime
  • Need to document your AML/CTF policies, governance arrangements and customer due diligence framework
  • Want a practical risk assessment register to identify, rate and manage your material ML/TF/PF risks
  • Need to prepare for the reformed AML/CTF requirements applying from 31 March 2026
  • Want a structured starting point that your AML/CTF Compliance Officer, Senior Manager and governing body can review and tailor
  • Need to clarify responsibility for customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, AUSTRAC reporting, training and independent evaluation
  • Want to avoid starting from a blank page when preparing your AML/CTF documentation
It is suited to:
  • Responsible entities of managed investment schemes
  • Trustees of managed investment schemes and fund vehicles
  • Fund managers providing designated financial services
  • Small to mid-sized fund businesses with a defined customer base and reasonably straightforward risk profile
  • Businesses providing services involving managed investment scheme interests, securities or derivatives
  • Existing Tranche 1 reporting entities updating their AML/CTF documentation for the reformed regime
What this bundle covers:
  • A Standard AML/CTF Policy template aligned with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth), the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules 2025 (Cth) and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Transitional Rules 2026 (Cth)
  • The reporting entity’s AML/CTF governance framework, including the Governing Body, Senior Manager and AML/CTF Compliance Officer
  • A principles-based ML/TF/PF risk assessment methodology
  • Customer due diligence requirements for individuals, companies, trusts, partnerships, government bodies and politically exposed persons
  • Simplified, standard and enhanced customer due diligence processes
  • Beneficial ownership, source of funds, source of wealth and customer risk-rating considerations
  • Ongoing customer due diligence, transaction monitoring and triggered customer reviews
  • Suspicious matter reporting, threshold transaction reporting, periodic compliance reporting and tipping-off obligations
  • Employee and contractor screening, AML/CTF training and disciplinary procedures
  • Outsourced service provider due diligence and governance requirements
  • Record-keeping, change control, review and independent evaluation requirements
  • A companion AML/CTF Risk Assessment Register with worked examples covering regulatory, customer, designated service, delivery channel, jurisdiction, reputational and operational risks
  • Risk ratings, key controls, review frequencies, accountable owners and cross-references to the relevant Policy sections
You receive two editable Word documents:
  1. The Standard AML/CTF Policy, with guidance notes, placeholders, schedules, worked examples and implementation prompts; and
  2. The AML/CTF Risk Assessment Register, designed to be completed alongside the Policy and maintained as the practical record of the reporting entity’s material AML/CTF risks and controls.
This bundle is designed to give a fund manager or managed investment scheme operator a structured, lawyer-drafted starting point for preparing its AML/CTF framework. It must be tailored to the reporting entity’s designated services, customer base, products, delivery channels, jurisdictions and governance structure before adoption. It is not a substitute for tailored legal advice, an independent evaluation or a completed risk assessment specific to your business.

How To Use This Template

This template is a starting point, not a final document. It’s been drafted by Australian lawyers to be practical and flexible, but it still needs to be reviewed and tailored for your specific business, transaction and risk profile.

Before you use it, you should:

  • Complete all placeholders, bracketed items and optional fields;
  • Remove any drafting notes or clauses that aren’t relevant to your situation; and
  • Check that party names, entity details, dates, addresses, contact details and defined terms are accurate.

Make sure the template is consistent with your other documents and obligations – including any existing contracts, policies, procedures, website terms, privacy disclosures, regulatory requirements or internal governance documents. If anything conflicts, it should be resolved before you sign, issue, adopt or implement the document.

If you are using the template as an agreement, it should be reviewed and signed by all relevant parties in accordance with applicable law and your internal signing requirements. If you are using it as a policy, procedure, notice or compliance record, it should be approved and stored under your organisation’s normal document control processes.

This template is provided as general information only and is not legal advice. Complex, high‑value, highly regulated or cross‑border matters will usually require bespoke drafting. For anything outside a straightforward use case, we strongly recommend obtaining legal advice before relying on, signing or implementing this document.
