If your organisation is a reporting entity under the AML/CFT Act, your annual report for the 2024/25 period is due by 31 August 2025. This deadline applies across all supervisors in New Zealand, including the Department of Internal Affairs, the Reserve Bank, and the Financial Markets Authority.
Your annual report gives your supervisor insight into how your AML/CFT programme is working, including your risk assessments, customer due diligence, and any compliance issues you’ve addressed.
The Department of Internal Affairs has created a helpful webpage with resources that provide a great starting point to assist with your report: https://www.dia.govt.nz/AML-CFT-Annual-Report.
If you’re unsure about your reporting obligations or want help preparing your report, please get in touch.
