What you'll master

Capabilities the marketactually pays for.

Every outcome below is graded in a live AI role-play. No multiple choice. No participation trophies. You either hold the line under pressure or you don't — and if you don't, the debrief tells you exactly why.

    Explain, in plain English, why real estate is being brought into the AML/CTF regime and which services in your agency are affected.

  2. 02

    Enrol the agency with AUSTRAC and identify who within the business needs to be named as a compliance contact.

  3. 03

    Draft the skeleton of a risk-based AML/CTF program tailored to your agency's client base and geography.

  4. 04

    Run customer due diligence on a vendor at listing and a buyer at offer stage without derailing the transaction.

  5. 05

    Identify beneficial owners behind trusts, companies and self-managed super funds buying or selling property.

  6. 06

    Recognise politically exposed person and sanctions-screening triggers and know the escalation path.

  7. 07

    Apply ongoing customer due diligence principles when a transaction's risk profile changes mid-deal.

  8. 08

    Understand the purpose of suspicious matter reporting and the legal seriousness of tipping-off.

  9. 09

    Build a record-keeping and file-storage process that would satisfy an AUSTRAC review.
