Reduce Business Risks and Threats With the Right Employee 

Money laundering and financial crime can pose a significant risk to your business, threatening financial liability and even closure. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) compliance is a critical part of risk management that’s critical to many businesses, particularly in certain industries.  

Under AUSTRAC regulations, businesses in banking, finance, legal, real estate, and other high-risk industries must ensure their employees are properly identified to prevent financial crime.  Even when not legally required, an anti-money laundering check is a highly valuable identity verification tool that adds an extra layer of security in hiring and onboarding.

Makesure’s Anti-Money Laundering checks leverage a comprehensive database to authenticate an individual’s identity, ensuring that your business complies with legal obligations and reduces the risk of financial fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions 

An AML check verifies an individual's identity and financial background to ensure they are not involved in money laundering, fraud, or other financial crimes. It helps businesses comply with AUSTRAC regulations and prevent financial misconduct.

Key Benefits of AML Checks:

  • Identity Verification – Confirms that the person being screened is who they claim to be.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Ensures businesses meet AML/CTF compliance requirements.
  • Fraud Prevention – Helps detect false identities, suspicious activity, or financial crime risks before onboarding employees.
  • Enhanced Due Diligence – Provides extra security for high-risk hires or in financial transactions.
  • Reputation Protection – Reduces the risk of your business being associated with money laundering, fraud, or illegal activity.

Not all employees need Anti-Money Laundering checks, but they are highly recommended for roles handling company finances, payroll, large transactions, or client funds, such as finance managers, payroll officers, and high-level executives.

AML checks should be conducted at the start of employment and periodically reviewed every 2 years to ensure your company stays compliant and ahead of risks.
