Why it's free
Enterprise AML tools charge thousands per year. The law applies to everyone equally — the tools should too.
I've seen this moment before. When the Aged Care Royal Commission hit, I was on the board of an aged care provider helping them navigate a wave of compliance requirements that had previously only existed in financial services.
Tranche 2 is that same moment for accountants. A compliance standard that large institutions take for granted is suddenly everyone's problem — and most small practices aren't ready. SimpleAML exists so that cost and complexity aren't the reason you fall behind.
"Across 20 years in compliance and regulated industries, I’ve seen good professionals buried under systems built for large organisations. SimpleAML was created to give small accounting firms a simpler way to manage AML compliance."
What SimpleAML is — and what it isn't
SimpleAML records that you performed the required AML/CTF checks, who performed them, and when — exactly what an auditor or independent reviewer needs to see. It does not store copies of identity documents, police checks, screening reports, or program files. Those records remain in your firm's existing systems, where they already belong.
SimpleAML stores records locally in your browser on your device. It does not currently provide multi-user cloud sync. You should export and back up your records regularly.
Enterprise AML platforms charge significant annual fees because they store large volumes of sensitive documents, manage encrypted cloud storage, and act as a document cabinet.
Small accounting practices don't need another document cabinet. You already have secure systems for storing client records, ID copies, and compliance files.
SimpleAML lets you keep using your existing systems and records the compliance trail in a clear register. You choose which identity verification provider to use, which screening tool to use, where your evidence is stored, and how your firm manages document security.
SimpleAML stays out of that and focuses on the register AUSTRAC expects to see.
The simple approach
No uploads. No document storage. No servers holding client ID.
Just a clear record of what checks were done, by whom, and where the evidence is held.
That is what your compliance review looks for. That is what SimpleAML provides.
Don't leave it too late
No guesswork. Just follow the steps and you're done. Get your program documented, enrol with AUSTRAC, and save your compliance report as proof — that's all you need to meet the deadline.
