WHAT IS AN ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING PROGRAM
For a Pub or Club to comply with Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) regulations, the venue must have an AML/CTF Compliance Program.
An AML Program has a set of regulations and procedures that businesses offering a designated service must follow. For Pubs and Club’s the designated services will generally be TAB and Gaming Machines. A separate Program is required for each type of gambling.
The Pub AML/CTF Program or Club AML/CTF Program outlines how the business will prevent and detect money laundering.
All Hotels and Clubs must appoint an AML/CTF Compliance Officer responsible for the appropriate AML/CTF Compliance Program. The business AML/CTF Program should not be one size fits all. It should pertain to the particular venue and consider such things as the number of gaming machines, the location of the venues, and the opening hours of the venues. There are several other things that should also be considered.
Having an AML/CTF Compliance Program relevant for your business and complying with that Program enables AML compliance. The program should address all aspects of AML/CTF regulation. AUSTRAC regulates AML/CTF.
