How does easyAML support a firm with both a legal arm and an accounting arm needing data separation?
Two configurations: one subscription with both sectors enabled for a combined view.
Two configurations are supported, depending on whether the firm wants one combined view or strict data separation between the legal and accounting books.
Option 1: One subscription, two sectors enabled.
- Single Professional ($449+GST) subscription.
- Both Legal Practitioners and Accountants ticked in the sector configuration, generating an AML Program that covers both sectors' designated services.
- All users see all customers (subject to their role permissions). Practical for firms where staff move freely between legal and accounting work.
- One $220 monthly KYC/KYB credit on Pro, used flexibly across account.
Option 2: Two separate accounts under one parent subscription.
- One account for the legal arm, one for the accounting / business advisory arm - each with its own Risk Assessment, AML Program, training records and customer records.
- The Compliance Officer accesses both via the entity switcher; each team only sees their own customers.
- Useful for firms with clear walls between practices (separate management, separate billing, sometimes separate ABNs).
- $220 KYC/KYB credit usable flexibly across both sides - billing happens at the parent level.
- Backend configuration by easyAML's platform team is required (typically 1–2 days). Sign up first; mention the dual-arm requirement during onboarding.
Either way, the AML/CTF Program reflects the full scope of designated services the firm provides under both sector lenses. See AUSTRAC's Professional designated services.
