Whether you enrol individually or join the DBA AML AUSTRAC Reporting Group with us as Lead Entity — the work, the team, and the accountability stay the same.

Why outsource to us

Compliance is our business. Yours is something else.

Every hour your team spends on AML is an hour they're not serving clients, closing deals, or building your business. DBA AML absorbs the entire compliance function — process, technology, people, and regulator engagement — so your team can put their energy where it actually matters.

Reclaim your team's time

Stop pulling fee-earners and partners into KYC, EDD and SMR work. We handle the operations end-to-end.

Defensible compliance

Trained AML practitioners doing the work, with regulator-ready records produced on request.

Predictable engagement

One engagement letter, one scope, one team. No surprise add-ons, no per-seat licensing — the work either falls within scope or it doesn't.

How it works

Two ways to engage DBA AML

Outsourcing is the core service. Reporting Group membership is offered as an optional efficiency layer — never a precondition to engaging us.

Optional add-on

AUSTRAC Reporting Group

Elect to join a formal Reporting Group with DBA AML as Lead Entity. Share program documentation, governance and Lead Entity coordination — without changing the underlying outsourcing service.

  • Shared AML/CTF Program (Part A & B)
  • Group-level technology and governance
  • Lodgement coordination on group basis
  • Available at no extra cost to outsourcing clients
