Compli360 is a one stop shop for all your compliance needs

We provide a full range of compliance services from single project consultancy to designing, building and resourcing compliance frameworks for risk, governance, and growth.

Compliance & Risk Program Uplift

Beyond licensing, your business must maintain robust compliance and risk programs. We design and implement frameworks tailored to your operations:

Compliance monitoring plans and calendars.
Risk registers, governance frameworks, and reporting lines.
Incident management, escalation processes, and Board reporting.
Alignment with ASIC, AUSTRAC, and international best practice.

Result: Strong foundations that support both regulatory obligations and commercial growth.

AFSL Licence Applications

Securing an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) is complex. We simplify the process by:

Determining the right licence authorisations for your business.
Preparing regulator-ready documentation, policies, and procedures.
Addressing ASIC’s s912A obligations across compliance, risk, financials, and governance.
Liaising with ASIC throughout the application.
Ensuring your business is “Day-1 ready” with the right frameworks in place.

Result: A smooth, credible application that accelerates approval and sets you up for long-term success.

AML/CTF Reform Transition

Fractional Compliance & Risk Leadership

The March 2026 reforms will reshape obligations for many businesses. We help you stay ahead by:

Reviewing and updating AML/CTF Programs (Parts A & B).
Enhancing customer due diligence, EDD, and transaction monitoring processes.
Refreshing training, reporting, and governance arrangements.
Preparing regulator-ready documentation and engagement packs.

Result: Future-proof compliance programs that meet AUSTRAC expectations.

Not every business needs a full-time compliance or risk officer. Our fractional services give you flexible access to senior expertise:

Acting as outsourced Chief Compliance Officer, MLRO, or Chief Risk Officer.
Supporting Board reporting, audits, and regulator interactions.
Advising on product launches, token listings, custody, and outsourcing/vendor oversight.
Maintaining compliance calendars, policies, and risk frameworks.

Result: Scalable, cost-efficient leadership you can trust.

Responsible Manager Solutions

ASIC requires every AFSL to appoint a Responsible Manager (RM). We provide flexible ways to meet this requirement:

Acting as an external RM (interim or ongoing).
Training and mentoring internal candidates.
Delivering oversight reporting and attestations.
Supporting your Board with governance insights.

Result: Demonstrated leadership and regulatory credibility at the senior level.
