Your Complete AML/CTF Compliance Pack
Everything your business needs to meet its anti-money laundering obligations — professionally drafted, sector-specific, and ready to implement.
AML/CTF Program
Your master compliance document — one per sector
This is the single most important document in your pack. It is your business's official AML/CTF Program — a comprehensive, professionally drafted document (40–60 pages) that covers every compliance obligation in full. It must be approved by your principal or director, customised with your business details, and reviewed annually. Every business covered by the reforms must have one.
📋 1 document per sector · Customisable white-label format- AML/CTF Program (White-Label) — covers governance, risk assessment (EWRA), CDD procedures, transaction monitoring, suspicious matter reporting, training, record keeping, independent review, and sector-specific controls. Fill in the highlighted fields to make it yours.
Sector-Specific Policies
19 individual policy documents — one for every compliance topic
Nineteen standalone policies that cover each compliance obligation in detail. All 19 are written specifically for your sector — a real estate agent's client due diligence policy is fundamentally different from a jeweller's. These sit alongside your T1 Program as your complete policy suite.
