Reporting group (and lead entity)

AML/CTF

The post-31-March-2026 framework's term for a group of reporting entities that have chosen to apply the reporting-group rules (s.26F(5)–(6) and AML/CTF Rules 2025 Division 6 of Part 5). The lead entity's AML/CTF policies cover information-sharing among group members. Each member remains separately liable for its own designated services. The pre-reform "designated business group (DBG)" mechanism is retired.

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.
