Trust accounts are a key ML/TF risk factor — apply additional scrutiny to source of funds if yes.

Practice Risk Assessment
ML/TF/PF risk assessment — required before finalising your AML/CTF Program
Setting up? Once saved, head back to the dashboard.
What this is: A documented assessment of the ML/TF/PF risks your practice faces. Your AML/CTF Program must be built on this assessment. Use the AUSTRAC Conveyancing Starter Kit template, then record your findings here.
Transaction & Property Risk
Consider: high-value transfers, commercial property, off-market transactions, unusual settlement structures, third-party payments.
Trust Account Risk
Trust accounts are a key ML/TF risk specific to conveyancers. Consider: deposit handling, settlement funds, third-party payments into trust, cash deposits.
Proliferation Financing (PF) Risk
Required under the reformed AML/CTF Act. All practices must document PF exposure regardless of size.
Customer Risk
Consider: foreign buyers/sellers, PEPs, companies, trusts, SMSFs, clients unknown to the practice.
Geographic Risk
Consider: overseas buyers/sellers, foreign-sourced funds, clients from FATF high-risk jurisdictions. Check: FATF list · DFAT Sanctions
