AUSTRAC’s deputy CEO, regulation, Katie Miller, has been confirmed as the opening keynote for the AML Edge, 2nd Edition conference, taking place in Sydney on 21 October.
The announcement is a significant one for the legal profession, with Miller’s session timed to occur just weeks after the final Tranche 2 rules and core guidance are expected to be released.
“AUSTRAC recognises the significant change Tranche 2 reforms will bring for the legal, accounting and real estate sectors”, Miller said. “AUSTRAC encourages businesses in these sectors to build their knowledge of money laundering, what it could look like in their business and the important role businesses will play in reducing harm to the Australian community. I’m looking forward to opening the conference and supporting industry efforts to strengthen Australia’s defences against financial crime through meaningful money laundering controls.”
Her session will offer delegates a direct line of sight into the regulator’s expectations as the 2026 enforcement deadline looms.
“Having Katie address our delegates at this precise moment is a game changer,” said Louisa Thomas, program director for AML Edge. “It provides an unparalleled opportunity for firms to get foundational clarity on the new frameworks and what ‘reasonable steps’ will look like in practice.”
Miller joined by cross-sector AML experts
Miller will be joined by a formidable roster of financial crime trailblazers and sector-specific leaders. The program is designed to provide practical, “how-to” implementation strategies for Tranche 2 entities.
Other key speakers include:
The first edition of AML Edge sold out in March, and capacity for the second edition is strictly limited to 150 delegates to foster high-value networking.
