Not sure the new rules apply to your practice?
Describe one service you provide and get an immediate, reasoned answer — covered, not covered, or needs legal review — with the rule references behind it. Routine tax returns and BAS work are generally not designated services on their own; it is trust, company, client-money and transaction work that brings a practice into scope.

Why practices choose Cassandra
Built to withstand scrutiny, not just tick boxes.
Compliance records only matter when someone examines them. Cassandra AML is engineered so that every claim it makes about your practice can be traced to recorded evidence.
Decisions with reasons, not checkboxes
Every scope decision records its reasoning, the rules it applied and any uncertainty flags, and is versioned against the rule pack that produced it — so you can show why it was right at the time.
Statutory deadlines done properly
SMR and TTR due dates are calculated with state-aware business-day calendars, including public holidays, and independently double-checked by a second calculation engine.
Security you can verify
Each practice's records are separated at the database level. Sign-in requires multi-factor authentication, suspicious-matter work is restricted to authorised staff, and the audit trail is tamper-evident.
A clear practice workflow
Know what to do next for every client.
Cassandra AML organises the work in the same order a tax practice performs it.

Record the legal entity, jurisdiction and responsible staff member.
Assess the service
Decide whether the engagement is covered by the AML/CTF regime.
Complete customer checks
Record identity, ownership, screening and ML/TF risk evidence.

Common questions
Straight answers for tax practices.
Do the AML/CTF rules apply to my practice?
It depends on the services you provide, not your job title. Preparing tax returns and BAS statements is generally not a designated service on its own. Work such as forming companies or trusts, dealing in client money or property, assisting with business or real estate transactions, or providing a registered office can bring a practice into scope. The free scope check gives you a reasoned answer for any single service in about a minute.
What are the deadlines?
AML/CTF obligations for newly regulated professions commenced on 1 July 2026. Practices already providing designated services must enrol with AUSTRAC by 29 July 2026, and an AML/CTF compliance officer must be appointed and notified. Cassandra AML tracks your program, due diligence and reporting dates from day one.
Can we complete customer due diligence without buying identity checks?
Yes. The manual verification path lets you record identity and ownership evidence yourself, attach documents, and complete risk review and approval without any paid provider. Electronic identity verification and PEP/sanctions screening are optional additions, and the workspace always shows whether a check was manual, sandbox or live.
What does Cassandra AML cost?
Free covers one user and up to 3 active clients — enough to stand up your first controls. Solo is A$49 per month for one Tax Agent with unlimited clients. Practice is A$129 per month with 5 users included and A$15 for each additional user. Prices exclude GST, and eligible founding practices can lock Solo at A$39 per month for their first 12 months.
Is this legal advice?
No. Cassandra AML assists compliance work and records the reasoning behind each decision, but it does not provide legal advice, guarantee compliance or imply AUSTRAC endorsement. Regulatory content carries source references, and anything that needs professional interpretation is visibly flagged for review.
Our standard
We publish our evidence.
Every capability on this page maps to a test, a database invariant or a recorded browser proof in our engineering evidence base. Provider integrations are labelled live, sandbox or not connected — we never present a simulation as a live check, and no compliance decision can be satisfied by sandbox evidence.
- Enforced row-level separation between practices
- Mandatory MFA with step-up for restricted reporting areas
- Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail
- Suspicious-matter records isolated from unauthorised staff
- Seven-year evidence retention aligned to record-keeping obligations
