AML automated compliantly for Australian Accountants
Built with accountants by automation experts. Australian data residency.
Why now
Manual AML checks on every client? There aren't enough hours.
From 1 July 2026, tax agents, bookkeepers and public practice accountants must run customer due diligence, screen for PEPs and sanctions, monitor for suspicious activity, and keep the evidence for seven years.
Spreadsheets can't prove you looked.
Generic AML tools still require someone in admin to go in and click go. We've automated that compliantly so you just have to sign-off and review.
Manual PEP and sanctions checks fall behind on day one.
One missed record is one AUSTRAC breach.
Accendia AML is the one place your practice runs, records and signs off every check.
The product
Everything a practice needs for AML. Nothing it doesn't.
Accendia AML is designed around the way accountants actually work, client-first, workpaper-driven, reviewed and approved.
Screen every client
Identity, PEP, sanctions, adverse media and jurisdiction risk, refreshed on a schedule, not a whim.
Sign off risk
Role-based approval gates. Analyst prepares, manager reviews, principal approves. Nothing skips a step.
Prove it later
Immutable 7-year audit trail across every run, approval and UAR. Export a case pack in one click.
Train your team
AML/CTF training and competency quizzes built in, with every attempt and pass recorded on the firm's training register.

Xero Practice Manager integration
Your client list, pulled in automatically.
Stop exporting spreadsheets every time a client changes. Accendia AML connects directly to Xero Practice Manager so your client book stays current without anyone lifting a finger.
- Your client list syncs automatically from Xero Practice Manager.
- New clients, name changes and status updates flow through overnight.
- No CSV uploads, no double entry, no stale spreadsheets.
- Each client is matched to risk factors and ready for screening on arrival.
Training obligations
Your team has to be trained. And you have to prove it.
Under the AML/CTF regime, staff training is not optional and it is not a one-off. If AUSTRAC asks, the burden sits with the firm to produce records showing exactly who was trained and what they knew.
Every staff member, not just the AML officer
AUSTRAC expects anyone involved in providing a designated service to understand their obligations, from reception through to partner.
Induction and ongoing refreshers
Training must happen when someone joins and be repeated regularly as the regime, your services and your risks change.
Evidence you actually delivered it
A slide deck in a shared drive is not evidence. You need to show who was trained, on what, when, and that they understood it.
- AML/CTF training modules written for accounting practices, not generic finance.
- Competency quizzes with pass marks, retakes and per-question results.
- A live training register: completion rate, staff fully trained, and who has training due.
- Every attempt, score and pass timestamped into the same 7-year audit trail as your client checks.
