AUSTRALIA: SCATHING PARLIAMENTARY AML INQUIRY AND ITS EFFECT ON AUSTRAC

On 31 August, ACAMS reported that, following the report, Australia’s FIU is tackling the depth, accuracy and timeliness of reports tied to suspicious activity, with a programme designed to update and upgrade how the country’s financial sector files suspicious matter reports (SMR).  It is said that the efforts could put some banks in the spotlight as the accuracy, adequacy and depth of filed reports could come under greater scrutiny – along with the rigor of underlying risk ranking, investigation and filing procedures.
