AML/CFT SECTOR-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE
Trust & Company Services (TCSPs)
https://player.vimeo.com/video/1153690948?h=a5cf634cff
You create the vehicles. They drive them.
Trust and company service providers are the architects of corporate structure. Every shell company, nominee arrangement, and complex ownership chain begins with someone who knows how to build it. That expertise makes TCSPs extraordinarily valuable to money launderers.
From July 2026, TCSPs become reporting entities under AUSTRAC—and face some of the most intensive scrutiny in the Tranche 2 regime. Your services sit at the heart of how criminals hide beneficial ownership.
This training prepares your business for heightened obligations. You'll understand why regulators consider TCSPs high-risk gatekeepers, how to verify the real people behind formation requests, and what to do when a client's purpose doesn't add up.
Equip your team to identify money laundering risks in entity formation and corporate services—particularly nominee arrangements and complex ownership structures designed to obscure beneficial ownership.
Build robust systems for tracing beneficial ownership, questioning formation purpose, and documenting the commercial rationale behind the structures you create.
Approximately 35 minutes of online training across three modules. Complete at your own pace. Certificate issued on completion. Access to compliance toolkit included.
A business that understands its heightened obligations as a gatekeeper profession, can identify suspicious formation requests, and maintains documentation that satisfies AUSTRAC scrutiny.
There are legitimate reasons for nominee arrangements. But when a client can't explain why they need one, that's your answer.
Our Approach
Understanding the Framework
TCSPs face some of the highest scrutiny in the Tranche 2 regime. This module explains why regulators consider your services high-risk, which specific services trigger obligations, and what AUSTRAC expects from your compliance program.
- Why TCSPs are classified as high-risk gatekeepers
- Designated services: formation, nominee, registered office
- Your obligations as a reporting entity
- Enhanced regulatory scrutiny: what to expect
Know Your Customer
Your clients often aren't the end users of the structures you create. This module covers how to verify instructing parties, trace through to beneficial owners, and document the commercial rationale for complex arrangements.
- Verifying instructing parties: who's actually giving instructions
- Tracing beneficial ownership through corporate layers
- Nominee arrangements: identifying the real controller
- Documenting purpose: why the structure is being created
Red Flags & Reporting
Formation requests that should concern you often look routine on the surface. This module teaches you to recognise the patterns—urgency without explanation, complexity without purpose, resistance to disclosure—and how to respond appropriately.
- Formation red flags: shelf companies, layered ownership, offshore connections
- Client behaviour red flags: secrecy, pressure, price insensitivity
- Suspicious matter reports: your obligation to report
- Record keeping: documenting the rationale you were given
