AML/CTF Personnel Due Diligence

Regulators increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate that AML/CTF compliance extends beyond customer due diligence to include the individuals responsible for onboarding and financial crime decisions.

Australia’s AUSTRAC AML/CTF reforms, effective from 31 March 2026, require reporting entities to assess the skills, knowledge, expertise and integrity of personnel performing AML/CTF functions both before engagement and throughout their employment.

Know Your Employee (KYE) refers to the process of verifying the identity, background, qualifications and integrity of employees responsible for financial crime prevention and compliance decisions. These checks help organisations verify the suitability, competence and integrity of employees responsible for compliance oversight, onboarding decisions and financial crime risk management.

Structured workforce screening helps organisations reduce governance risk, strengthen compliance frameworks and demonstrate that appropriate due diligence has been conducted on individuals responsible for AML/CTF activities.

Without structured workforce due diligence, organisations may face risks including:
• Unverified employee qualifications or experience
• Undetected conflicts of interest or misconduct history
• Insufficient oversight of staff making onboarding decisions
• Lack of documented evidence during regulatory review

Structured personnel screening helps organisations demonstrate defensible AML/CTF governance and workforce integrity.

What our clients say

"I truly appreciate everything the team has done, especially during the first half of the year when we had to hire around 50 GP reps. I know my urgent requests and last-minute changes can sometimes add pressure, so thank you for your patience and flexibility. I want to express my deepest appreciation to you and the team. Always proactive, never needing a follow-up on urgent checks, and consistently providing updates on progress. Just wanted you to know that I truly value the partnership that we have."

Global Pharmaceutical Company

“I just wanted to say thank you for the work you’ve done over the years for us. The way you come back with the checks so much more quickly than the screening companies some of our clients engage. Not sure what you’re doing but it’s great. Your service is helping to give us a more competitive advantage and it gets the people hired that we put forward to our clients, quicker. We can get them into the clients quickly and getting them earning money and us earning money. You’re really making a difference”

HR Business Partner

“We do a lot of executive and board appointments, which require careful and complete due diligence in screening. I have found TalentScreen an amazing resource to assist my Executive recruiting campaigns. They are extremely responsive to urgent deadlines (& will work anytime necessary- day/ night & weekends to service overseas connections; no 9am to 5pm work only for TalentScreen!) & provides far superior service to the larger verification company I had been using.”

HR Consulting Firm

“I wanted to thank you for flagging this with me regarding this candidate’s check. I know it’s part of your role, but just wanted to commend you and the team on how you handled this situation. We’ve had a few cases like this candidate but how you handled it, the way you communicated it and the details you gave me were phenomenal. Didn’t even have to chase you – you were the one who flagged it to me. So just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the team for all the help and incredible support."

Global Pharmaceutical company

“We use TalentScreen to conduct criminal background checks on our candidates to ensure we comply with our contractual obligations to our customers. TalentScreen makes it easy and painless, they have great respect for the candidates, and their turnaround time is simply fantastic".

"We use TalentScreen for a wide range of compliance checks, but your work in helping us drive change in our corporate culture has been outstanding. Special thanks to your workplace psychologist in developing our cultural compatibility assessment. Excellent work!”

Financial Services Company

“Security and honesty is critical in staffing our stores, and something we take seriously. The reliability of TalentScreen in providing our criminal background checks, coupled with their excellent customer service is a real benefit to our recruitment process.”

Global Jewellery Retailer

“I can highly recommend the services of TalentScreen. The number of times we have reconsidered candidates based on the background checks results makes it very worthwhile. They are very quick to respond, and also very diligent, professional, efficient and personable.”

Global Pharmaceutical Company

“We now use TalentScreen as a standard for all hiring. We had a situation where the reference checks indicated there may be an issue with cultural fit to our organisation. We ignored it, as we did not feel it was important. Within the 90-day probation period we were forced to terminate the employee, yes, because of poor cultural fit and not being a team player. If a TalentScreen report advises further investigation or follow up, we now take it seriously.“

Digital Outdoor Advertising

“TalentScreen does our probity checks to satisfy our banking and finance contractual obligations. Exceptionally efficient, fabulous customer service, and I highly recommend them. - P.S. Great technology, makes it easy for our candidates.”

Their customer service and timely delivery is outstanding. Looking forward to many years working together supporting our company.”

Maintaining probity around staffing in financial services can be challenging, but you really help simplify it for us.”
