Tranche 2 operations

Risk assessed per designated service Queried

Vendor states risk assessments are done per client and matter (case type), with separate question sets for practice areas, offices or jurisdictions; risk is not described as assessed per designated service.

Ongoing monitoring triggered by designated service and risk Queried

Help centre states CDD refresh alerts follow a cadence set by risk level and office, and each new case re-verifies the parties for that transaction; re-review triggered by a new designated service is not described.

Program obligations calendar Not obtained
Versioned AML program and CDD records Queried

Vendor states client risk assessments keep full version history and change tracking, and published risk-assessment forms are versioned; the product does not hold the AML/CTF program, so program versioning does not apply.

Escalation to AMLCO or manager with outcome recorded Agreed

Help centre states cases go to Ready for Review and must be approved by an assigned compliance reviewer (multi-stage approval possible) or reworked, and vendor states risk thresholds can apply senior review automatically.

Expired document alerts Agreed

Help centre states the case manifest shows alerts for documents expired or due to expire within 12 months, and ID-expiry checks are configurable in ongoing monitoring settings.

Reliance CDD requests sent and received Agreed

Help centre states a real estate case can request verification of the buyer from the buyer's conveyancer through the platform, which adds the conveyancer as a case contact; this is framed as a request to verify under the AML/CTF Rules (not a s37A/38 reliance agreement), and handling inbound requests is not described.

Known limitations

Recorded from the provider's own published material and public records, with the same care as the capabilities.

  • No published pricing. Every tier is price-on-application.
  • Does not generate the AML/CTF program document.
  • Staff training is treated as the customer's own obligation, not a platform feature.

  • No Australian-specific verification source such as DVS is named. Data sources are provided on request.
