The individual a reporting entity designates as its AML/CTF Compliance Officer under s.26J of the AML/CTF Act 2006. Must be employed at management level, hold sufficient authority and independence, pass a fit-and-proper test, and (for venues with an Australian permanent establishment) be Australian-resident. Venues notify AUSTRAC of the designation within 14 days; failure is a civil-penalty provision.
This term sits in the AML/CTF section of the working glossary — vocabulary that recurs across the AUSTRAC reporting-entity regime, the AML/CTF Act 2006, and the AML/CTF Rules 2025.
