The Problem

Manual KYC is slow, expensive, and risky

Most accounting practices still rely on spreadsheets and manual processes for client due diligence. That is about to change.

Hours per client

Manual form-filling, chasing documents, and cross-referencing lists eat up hours for every single client onboarding.

Sanctions & PEP lists

DFAT sanctions lists and PEP databases change constantly. Manual checks are error-prone and hard to evidence.

7-year retention burden

AUSTRAC requires you to store KYC records for 7 years. Spreadsheets and filing cabinets are not compliant.

$33M penalty risk

Civil penalties for non-compliance with AML/CTF obligations can reach up to $33 million per contravention.

AI does the heavy lifting
