Senior manager approval (s.26P)

Governance & people

The AML/CTF Act 2006 (as amended) requires the reporting entity's AML/CTF program — both the ML/TF risk assessment and the AML/CTF policies — to be approved by a senior manager under s.26P. The senior manager must hold sufficient authority and accountability for the approval to be meaningful; in a registered-club context this is typically the CEO or General Manager. The approval is documented and retained as part of the program's documentation set.

This term sits in the governance & people section of the working glossary — vocabulary covering board duties, senior-manager accountability, training-register discipline, and decision-of-authority records.
