🔒 Important Update for Our Clients – New Identification Requirements from 1 July 2026
From 1 July 2026, new Australian Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws come into effect, and accounting firms like ours are required to carry out additional identity verification and due diligence for certain services.
This means that, for some new and existing clients, we may need to ask for:
• Proof of identity
• Information about company ownership or control
• Details about the purpose of the engagement
• Other information required under the new legislation
We understand that some of these questions may seem unfamiliar, particularly if you've been a client of ours for many years. Please know that these requirements are mandated by law and will apply to all accounting firms across Australia.
Our aim is to make the process as simple and efficient as possible, and we'll only request the information that is required for the services we are providing.
We appreciate your patience, understanding and ongoing support as we implement these new requirements. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our team. 🧡
