AML in Practice:
More Questions. More Grey Areas. Clearer Answers.
You've now had several months to apply the AML regime to real clients, and the hard part has turned out to be the grey areas. This session doesn't revisit the basics. Peter Johnson works through the questions firms are still asking, shows where the answer is clear and where it is genuinely arguable, and what to record on file when it isn't black and white.

About this session
“The basics are settled.
The grey areas are where files get stuck.”
Most firms now have a program in place, the training done and the straightforward jobs running smoothly. The questions that keep coming back are the ones the guidance doesn't settle.
Is a registered office change a designated service? Who is the customer when you set up a trust and its corporate trustee? What goes on file when a screening check returns a name that clearly isn't your client?
Where is the answer clear, and where is it genuinely arguable?
This follow-up session works through those questions against real client files. For each one, Peter shows where the answer is clear, where it is genuinely arguable, and what should be recorded on file when there is no simple black and white position.
That's what this hour is for.
That's what this recording works through.
What you'll walk away with
Clear where it's clear. Documented where it isn't.
Every question in the session gets one of three outcomes, so you know exactly where your file stands.
02
An honest grey area
Where the position is genuinely arguable, Peter says so, and explains which way he leans and why.
03
A file note you can defend
What to record when there is no black and white answer, so your reasoning is on file if the decision is ever questioned.
Send us the AML issue your firm is currently dealing with and we’ll work as many questions as possible into the live session.

In this recording
The questions firms are still asking
Peter gives a direct position on each one, with the reasoning behind it. Where it's genuinely arguable, he says so and tells you what to document instead.
1
Which accounting activities are actually designated services, and where the grey areas still sit.
2
When customer due diligence is required, and when it isn't.
3
How AML applies to existing clients compared with new clients.
4
ASIC agent work, including company changes, registered office services and other common lodgements.
5
Company, trust and SMSF establishments, and who the “customer” actually is.
6
Restructuring work, and how far you can go before AML obligations are triggered.
7
Trust deed variations, trustee changes and other entity changes that may or may not fall within the regime.
8
What to do when screening produces an apparent false positive.
9
How to deal with software prompts that appear broader than the actual AML obligation.
10
What should be documented where the position is genuinely arguable.
11
Common implementation issues firms are now discovering several months into the regime.
12
The AML questions accounting firms have submitted since our previous session.
13
Practical examples of how Peter would approach real client files.
14
What firms should be reviewing now to make sure their AML processes are actually working in practice.
15
Send us the AML issue your firm is currently dealing with and we’ll work as many questions as possible into the live session.

3:00 PM, Monday 30 November 2026 (AEDT)

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this webinar be relevant to me as an accountant?
Yes, if your firm provides services that may fall within the AML regime, such as ASIC agent work, entity establishments, restructures or trust changes. The session is built around the grey-area questions firms are asking now that they are applying the regime to real client files.
Do I need to have attended your previous AML session?
No. This is a follow-up that skips the basics and goes straight to the grey areas, but each question is explained in full, so it stands on its own.
What if I can't make it live?
Choose the Live + 45-Day Recording option and you'll have 45 days to watch the recording. We recommend joining on the day if you can, so you can put your own question to Peter in the live Q&A.
Will there be a replay I can watch later?
Recording access is included in the Live + 45-Day Recording bundle. If you purchased the live webinar only and change your mind afterwards, recording access can be added for a flat $99 within 3 days of the session.
Will I receive a certificate to document my CPD training?
Yes. The webinar counts for 1 hour of CPD. Attend live, or complete the quiz, and a verified CPD certificate is issued. If you purchase the bundle and watch the recording instead, your CPD is unverified until you complete the quiz.
If you don't attend live and haven't purchased the recording, no CPD is issued.
Is this webinar simply for viewing, or can I ask questions?
You can ask questions. The hour runs as 45 minutes of explanation followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A with Peter. Send us the AML issue your firm is currently dealing with and we’ll work as many questions as possible into the live session.
