AUSTRAC’s updated AML/CTF rules, effective July 1, 2026, will require Australian reporting entities to strengthen due diligence for companies, trusts, associations, and other non-individual customers by identifying and reasonably verifying their ultimate beneficial owners. The rules generally define beneficial owners as individuals with at least 25% direct or indirect ownership or control, while also covering people who exercise ultimate effective control regardless of ownership share. Businesses will need to collect entity-specific records such as registration and incorporation documents, shareholder registers, trust deeds, trustee and beneficiary details, governance documents, and identity documents for relevant controllers. The changes are intended to make corporate and trust structures more transparent and reduce opportunities for financial crime, with non-compliance potentially leading to substantial penalties and reputational harm. Organizations are encouraged to update AML/CTF policies, assess onboarding systems, train staff, seek specialist advice, and consider automated KYC and KYB technology to manage complex ownership verification efficiently.
