Accountants & tax agents

Public-practice accountants, bookkeepers and tax agents become reporting entities when they provide designated services such as forming companies or trusts, managing client money, or acting as a nominee.

Designated services captured

  • Company and trust formation
  • Acting as a nominee director or trustee
  • Managing client money or assets
  • Buying and selling business entities

Typical ML/TF risks

  • Complex structures used to hide beneficial ownership
  • Client money moved with no clear economic purpose
  • Clients with unexplained wealth or PEP links
  • Nominee arrangements that obscure control

How ClearTrace helps

  • Risk assessment tuned to accounting designated services
  • KYB with beneficial owner verification for entities
  • Client-money and nominee engagements flagged as higher risk
  • One audit trail across every engagement
Worked example. A new client asks you to set up a trust and hold settlement funds. ClearTrace runs KYB, verifies the beneficial owners, screens them against the DFAT list, rates the engagement Enhanced CDD because of the nominee element, and routes it to a senior manager — all on one file.

Legal & conveyancing

Solicitors and conveyancers are captured when they handle property transfers, hold client money in trust, or help structure entities.

Designated services captured

  • Conveyancing and real-property transfers
  • Managing client money held in trust
  • Company and trust formation
  • Acting in a nominee or fiduciary capacity

Typical ML/TF risks

  • Property used to launder or store illicit funds
  • Third parties paying for a transaction with no clear link
  • Rushed or unusually structured settlements
  • Source of funds that cannot be explained

How ClearTrace helps

  • Matter-based onboarding and screening
  • Source-of-funds capture for property transactions
  • Tipping-off controls built into the SMR workflow
  • Defensible records for every file
Worked example. Mid-settlement, a third party you have never met offers to pay the balance. ClearTrace lets you capture the source of funds, screen the payer, raise an internal escalation without tipping-off the client, and route it to the AMLCO.

Real estate

Real estate agencies become reporting entities when they broker the sale, purchase or transfer of real estate, with obligations attaching whenever they provide a designated service, such as brokering the sale, purchase or transfer of the property.

Designated services captured

  • Brokering the sale or purchase of real estate
  • Acting for a buyer, seller or lessor
  • Verifying the parties to a transaction
  • Ongoing screening across a listing lifecycle

Typical ML/TF risks

  • High-value cash or virtual-asset buyers
  • Buyers using companies or trusts to hide ownership
  • Overseas buyers from higher-risk countries
  • Prices inconsistent with the market

How ClearTrace helps

  • Fast identity verification at the point of listing
  • Sanctions and PEP screening for both parties
  • Risk rating that reflects value and geography
  • Audit ready evidence for each property deal
Worked example. An overseas buyer purchases through a company. ClearTrace verifies the company and its beneficial owners, screens them, applies a country-risk weighting, and keeps the full record for the file.
