Key takeaways

What must a law firm do to provide designated services?

Under the Tranche 2 reforms, law firms must complete four key steps: 1) Enrol with AUSTRAC as a reporting entity (within 28 days of first providing a designated service), 2) Appoint a Compliance Officer (within 28 days), 3) Implement a written AML/CTF Program (before providing designated services), and 4) Verify the identity of their clients (KYC) before providing the service. Law firms acting for corporate clients or trustees must also complete Know Your Business (KYB) checks — identifying directors, shareholders, and ultimate beneficial owners — which ClearAML automates using live ASIC register data.

Admin shouldn't kill your commission.

Replace the "old way" with the mobile-first way.

The Problem

Recoverable Expense

You pay for a check and forget to bill the client. Compliance eats your margin.

The Solution

Disbursement Receipts

We generate a disbursement receipt automatically for every check. No forgotten costs.

The Problem

The Integration Gap

Re-typing client data from LEAP or Smokeball into another portal manually.

The Solution

CSV Import

Bulk import clients from a spreadsheet in minutes. No manual re-entry, no double handling.

The Problem

The VOI Headache

Clients hate coming into the office just to show a passport. It wastes your time.

The Solution

Secure Remote Links

Send a secure link. They verify on their phone. You get the VOI report instantly.

Everything you need to be compliant

Replace your fragmented spreadsheets with a purpose-built platform designed for Australian accounting firms.

Billable by Design

Designed to be passed on. We give you the tax invoices you need to add this as a standard disbursement.

Forensic Audit Logs

Verification outcomes, status changes, and risk decisions are time-stamped in a forensic audit log, so your records are ready when you need them.

AML Staff Training

Keep your team up to date. Our built-in AML/CTF compliance quiz covers obligations, red flags, and reporting requirements — with completion records retained in the audit log.

Automated Risk Scoring

Stop guessing. Our engine calculates risk scores based on client type, industry, and geography.

Matter-Based Filing

Organize your compliance checks by Matter Number, not just client name. Built for high volumes.

AUSTRAC Reporting

Generate the reports you need for your annual compliance report and independent reviews.

Inter-Firm Collaboration

Share verified client profiles with co-counsel, barristers, or referral firms. Connected firms receive the complete compliance record — ID checks, risk assessments, documents, and audit history.

Designed specifically for AUSTRAC compliance

Designed specifically for the Tranche 2 reforms. We cover the specific requirements for DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions).

  • AUSTRAC Reporting

    Review-first workflows for SMRs (Suspicious Matter Reports) and TTRs (Threshold Transaction Reports) aligned with AUSTRAC standards.

  • Global & Local Sanctions

    Real-time screening against DFAT Consolidated List, UN Security Council, and global PEP databases.

  • Audit-Ready Logging

    Key decisions, notes, and status changes are time-stamped in an append-only audit log, giving you the evidence trail a regulatory audit will ask for.

The ARNECC Model Participation Rules require you to take reasonable steps to verify your client's identity. Only the face-to-face Verification of Identity Standard is automatically treated as reasonable steps. A remote check like ClearAML's — document checks, a face match and a liveness check — can form part of your reasonable steps, and ARNECC's guidance gives electronic verification as an example of a step you can take. Whether it is enough for a particular transaction is your decision, and in a dispute it is decided on the facts.

No — it supports them. A ClearAML check gives you strong evidence of identity for legal intake and conveyancing matters, but it is not the face-to-face Verification of Identity Standard, so it does not carry that Standard's automatic protection. Download the verification report with its document and selfie images included (tick "Include document and selfie images" before downloading) and keep it on your file: the ARNECC rules require evidence supporting identity verification to be kept for at least seven years from lodgment, and ClearAML deletes its own copy of the images 7 days after the check.

Absolutely. We provide a tax invoice for every check, allowing you to list the AML/VOI check as a standard disbursement on your final bill.

Client data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS). Your client records and documents are stored in Australian data centres (Sydney Region). Some checks, such as identity verification, are processed by specialist providers overseas — our Privacy Policy sets out where.

Yes. ClearAML automates KYB for all Australian entity types — Pty Ltd companies, discretionary trusts, SMSFs, and multi-layer corporate chains. It pulls live director and shareholder data from the ASIC register, maps the beneficial ownership structure, and verifies each person in the chain — essential for law firms acting in property transactions or company formations involving corporate purchasers or trustees. See our KYB for Australian entities guide for full details.

ClearAML provides structured drafting workflows for Suspicious Matter Reports (SMRs) and Threshold Transaction Reports (TTRs). When a concern is flagged, the platform guides you through the required AUSTRAC fields, validates the draft, and time-stamps it in the append-only audit log — creating evidence of when suspicion arose, separate from when you lodge via AUSTRAC Online. See our AUSTRAC reporting page for a full walkthrough.
