What is changing?
Until now, AML/CTF obligations have primarily applied to banks and financial institutions. Under reforms passed by Parliament (known as
"Tranche 2"), these obligations are being extended to accountants, lawyers and real estate professionals. This brings Australia into line
with international standards and reflects the important role professional service firms play as trusted advisers.
As a result, DFK Hirn Newey Pty Ltd, will become a reporting entity under the AML/CTF Act and will be regulated by AUSTRAC (the
Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre).
What does this mean for you?
For most clients, there will be little or no change to our day-to-day work together. Your regular tax returns, BAS preparation, bookkeeping
and general advisory services are not affected.
However, for certain higher-risk services - such as assisting with property transactions, setting up or restructuring companies or trusts,
or managing client funds - we will be required to carry out additional verification and due diligence steps. If this applies to your
situation, we will walk you through the process at the time.
What are we doing to prepare?
We are well advanced in developing our AML/CTF compliance program, including staff training and updated processes, so that the transition is
as smooth as possible when the new obligations commence on 1 July 2026.
You don't need to do anything right now. If and when we need additional information from you, we will be in touch directly and explain
exactly what is required.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact your DFK Hirn Newey adviser. ]]>

We have prepared this summary to explain the key measures in plain language and to highlight what they mean for you. Many of these changes
are still subject to draft legislation, and a number of details are not yet fully confirmed — we have tried to reflect that honestly
throughout.
What is clear is that these changes are significant, broad, and for many clients will require a review of existing arrangements. We
encourage you to read through the summaries below and to contact us to discuss anything that may be relevant to your situation.
