    Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act This module introduces participants to the requirements imposed under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML & CTFA). The purpose of this module is to highlight the requirements participants need to be familiar with.

The AML & CFTA module also outlines requirements which deal with the identification process when funding a new loan or opening a new account.
Approximate completion time 60 minutes.
1. Purpose of the Act Reviews the purpose of the AML/CTFA and the industry sectors it covers including the financial sector, gambling sector, bullion dealers and other persons or businesses. It also provides an overview of the legislative framework and some of the key implementation stages.

* The "Risk Based Approach" is also covered looking at the risks a reporting entity must consider.
 
2. What is Money Laundering? Introduces the participants to the ways criminals use the legitimate financial system to try and hide or disguise the proceeds of crimes.

It then takes participants through:
  -  Placement: the initial stage when the illegal funds are placed into the financial system.
  -  Layering: the breaking down of large amounts and their movement through the financial system to create a complicated trail.
  -  Integration: the final stage of the anti - money laundering process. The money is integrated into the financial system without any appearance of being illegally sourced funds.

Unusual behaviour by a client/potential client is also covered to assist participants to identify anti - money laundering activity.

4. New Customer Identification New customer identification addresses the rules issued by AUSTRAC as a minimum requirement for new customers who are seeking a product or service.
