Getting Started
Overview
Step-by-step guide to registering your organisation, completing risk assessments, and achieving compliance readiness.
This guide walks you through the core compliance journey — from registration to full compliance readiness.
1. Register your organisation
- Create an account and set up your organisation profile.
- Enter your ABN to auto-populate business details.
- Select your industry type (Real Estate, Legal, Accounting, TCSP, or Precious Metals).
- The system will confirm whether you fall under Tranche 2 AML/CTF regulation.
2. Complete your risk assessment
- Navigate to Risk Assessment from the sidebar.
- Complete the industry-specific questionnaire covering four risk dimensions:
- Customer Risk — Client types, PEP exposure, non-face-to-face ratios
- Service/Product Risk — Types of services provided
- Delivery Channel Risk — Face-to-face, online, third-party
- Geographic Risk — FATF high-risk country exposure
- Review your risk scores and overall rating (High / Medium / Low).
- Download the PDF risk assessment report for your records.
3. Generate your AML/CTF Program
- Go to AML/CTF Program in the sidebar.
- Click Generate Program — AI creates a tailored draft based on your risk assessment.
- Review and edit the draft using the built-in editor.
- Publish the final version and distribute to your team.
4. Set up customer KYC
- Add customers via Customers and associate designated services.
- Create KYC cases and collect identity documents.
- Review verification results and approve or reject cases.
5. Maintain ongoing compliance
- Monitor your Compliance Health Score on the dashboard.
- Address items in your Smart To-Do list.
- Ensure staff training is up to date.
- Register with AUSTRAC (Verifia provides reminders and guidance).
