π¨ IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BUSINESS OWNERS & INVESTORS π¨
From 1 July 2026, significant changes to Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws will begin affecting accountants, company formation services, trust establishment services, lawyers and other professional service providers.
What does this mean for you?
β
Additional identity verification requirements
β
More documentation when setting up companies and trusts
β
Increased compliance obligations for business owners
β
Enhanced record-keeping and due diligence procedures
If you are considering:
β Setting up a new company
β Establishing a family trust
β Changing your business structure
β Appointing a new ASIC agent
β Transferring your registered office
it may be beneficial to act sooner rather than later.
At SIGMA Accountants & Tax Agents, we are actively preparing for these regulatory changes and are ready to assist clients with company formations, trust setups, ASIC compliance and ongoing business advisory services.
