The legal trigger is the service being provided, not the professional title. The workspace records a decision for each engagement or matter.
- Company and express-trust creation
- Shelf-company transfers and qualifying changes of legal form
- Item 7 acting arrangements and item 8 nominee-shareholder services where the nominator-control and instruction tests are met
- Registered-office or principal-place-of-business addresses provided in the course of carrying on a business
- Express-trust trustee roles performed on behalf of a nominator; general trust administration alone is not automatically designated

Questions trust and company service providers ask
Are all trust and company service providers automatically regulated by AUSTRAC?
No. AML/CTF status depends on whether the business provides a designated service with the required Australian geographical link, not the professional title alone. Assess each service and obtain advice where the boundary is uncertain.
What should trust and company service providers record for an AML/CTF review?
Keep the service-scope decision, customer and beneficial-owner evidence, risk assessment, screening and escalation decisions, approvals, reporting records, training and current program governance evidence.
Does Cassandra AML replace legal or regulatory advice?
No. Cassandra AML organises compliance work and evidence. It does not give legal advice, guarantee compliance or imply AUSTRAC endorsement.
Make the entity and its control chain the centre of the record.
Use formation, nominee, registered-office and arrangement terminology with authority and natural-person control evidence built in.
