AICWA

Tax time means scam time.

Be extra cautious of unexpected messages claiming to be from the ATO or myGov, especially those asking you to:

🚩 Click a link
🚩 Sign in to myGov
🚩 Share personal or financial details
🚩 Provide a one-time code
🚩 Act urgently

The ATO will not send unsolicited messages with links asking you to sign in to myGov.

Stop, check and protect. Access myGov directly through the official app or website, and verify suspicious contact using official ATO details.

Stay vigilant this tax time.

AICWA has released a new AML/CTF Tranche 2 Guidance Notice for members, covering Customer Due Diligence, information sharing and reliance arrangements.

The notice has been prepared by the AICWA Council following member enquiries, clarification from LGIRS, legal advice and careful consideration of how the Commonwealth AML/CTF legislation interacts with the Western Australian settlement agents legislative framework.

The document includes:
🔸 the relevant legislative framework
🔸 advice provided to AICWA by LGIRS
🔸 CDD information-sharing options
🔸 Council’s current position
🔸 practical guidance for members
🔸 matters to consider moving forward

This guidance notice is available exclusively to AICWA members and can be accessed through the Resource Library in the Members’ Area of the AICWA website.
