Can an AFS licensee provide services to a client located overseas?

Can an AFS licensee provide services to a client located overseas? The answer is rarely a simple yes or no. An AFSL is not a global passport, and firms need to understand both the Australian licensing requirements and the local law requirements that may apply when clients, products, advice or marketing activity cross borders.

This session will walk through a practical framework for cross-border financial services, including client origination, retail and wholesale distinctions and AML/CTF considerations.

What's covered

  • How cross-border analysis works
  • Internet, websites and digital marketing
  • Operating models and group structures
  • Local compliance obligations
  • AML/CTF considerations
  • Consequences of getting it wrong
