Screen every client against sanctions and PEP lists
Under Tranche 2, you must check each new client against sanctions and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) lists before you provide a designated service. AMLKits Check does it in seconds — and gives you a compliance record for your files.
Why you have to screen clients
From 1 July 2026, accountants, lawyers, conveyancers and real estate agents providing designated services are required to conduct Customer Due Diligence — and screening clients against sanctions and PEP lists is a core part of that. There's also a second reason to screen for sanctions: dealing with a sanctioned person is a criminal offence under Australian law, whether or not you're a reporting entity. Screening protects you from both kinds of exposure at once.
What AMLKits Check screens against
Every check searches your client against:
Australian Sanctions List (DFAT)
Australia's own Consolidated List, the primary list you're required to screen against.
UN Security Council sanctions
Which Australia is legally required to implement.
Global sanctions lists
Including US OFAC, EU and UK sanctions, relevant wherever your client has an international nexus.
PEP databases
Identifying politically exposed persons and their close associates, drawn from OpenSanctions' 400+ official sources.

Screening is one part of your obligations
Screening confirms whether a person appears on a list — it doesn't verify their identity, and it isn't a full AML/CTF program on its own. You still need a documented Compliance Policy, a risk assessment, and a KYC process. AMLKits generates your complete document set, and AMLKits Check handles your ongoing screening — together they cover both.
