Are you ready for Australia’s Tranche 2 reforms?
Starting on July 1, 2026, legal professionals, real estate agents, accountants, and other DNFBPs—including real estate agents and accountants—will face new AML/CTF obligations.
Non-compliance risks penalties, client trust, and reputation.
To help the legal sector prepare, ACAMS and the Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) have partnered to deliver AML/CTF training designed for legal practitioners.
This reflects a broader trend: AML/CTF regulations are expanding across industries. For DNFBPs, the ACAMS AML General Awareness course offers a practical, accessible starting point to understanding financial crime risks and controls.
Start now. Let’s build the right training program for you or your team.

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran Beer talks with Andy Greenberg, senior writer at WIRED and author of the blockchain forensic thriller “Tracers In The Dark.” Halfway into their conversation, they are joined by Tigran Gambaryan, head of financial crime compliance at Binance and a former IRS-CI investigator.
Andy, Tigran and Kieran discuss Tigran’s detention by Nigerian authorities for 8 months as part of the government's effort to force Binance to pay billions in penalties, which was the subject of an in-depth WIRED article by Andy. They also talk about Tigran’s role as a blockchain forensics pioneer documented by Andy in his book, and what each sees as the opportunities and challenges associated with the rise of digital assets.
