Draft AML/CTF Rules on the Register of Providers of Designated Remittance Services

Austrac has released draft rules which allow the AUSTRAC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to remove from or refuse to enter onto the Register of Providers of Designated Remittance Services, a person's name and registrable details, if the AUSTRAC CEO considers that those details would constitute an unacceptable money laundering or terrorism financing risk. They cover individuals, body corporates, trusts and partnerships and representatives of such persons.

A public consultation period is open from 18 December 2009 to 22 January 2010.
