Am I in scope?

AML/CTF obligations attach to the designated services you provide, not to your industry or your job title. An accounting firm that only prepares tax returns has no obligations, while one that sets up a company for a client does. Pick your industry and tick the services you provide to see where each one sits.

Tick all that apply, for example a legal practice that also does conveyancing.

How this works

Each service is checked against the designated services listed in s 6 of the AML/CTF Act and AUSTRAC's guidance on them. Where the answer turns on how you do the work, the checker asks a follow-up question, and marks the service as depending on facts you should check if you are not sure. The industry pages explain each service in more detail: accounting, legal, conveyancing, real estate and jewellers. For what happens once you provide a designated service, start with the obligations overview.
