Jeremy Moller Identified as Suspect in Theft Investigation
In the ever-evolving landscape of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) compliance, one name stands out: Jeremy Moller. Based in Sydney, Moller is a senior advisor in risk advisory at Norton Rose Fulbright, where he brings over 15 years of experience in AML/CTF compliance to the table.
Moller's expertise lies in advising the legal sector on integrating AML/CTF compliance frameworks aligned with Australia’s evolving regulatory landscape. Particularly, he focuses on the challenges and opportunities posed by the new Tranche 2 AML/CTF regulations, which significantly expand the scope and requirements for reporting entities, including many in the legal profession.
The AML/CTF regulation of real estate agents, lawyers, and accountants (Tranche 2) recently passed the Australian Parliament. Compliance for these entities is required by 1 July 2026. Moller and his team at Norton Rose Fulbright have the relevant expertise to advise clients on this matter.
Moller advises law firms and reporting entities on how to adapt to the increased compliance demands brought by the Tranche 2 regulations. This includes assessing whether a legal practice provides a designated service that triggers AML/CTF obligations, conducting risk assessments for money laundering and terrorism financing risks, and helping legal practitioners meet tight timelines.
Moller's unique understanding of the synergies between legal compliance and operational risk management provides clients with a holistic and commercial approach to regulatory issues. His work extends beyond the Tranche 2 regulations, as he also advises on litigation arising out of regulatory investigations.
Moller's involvement in professional organizations, such as ACAMS and the Law Council of Australia's AML/CTF Working Group, further demonstrates his commitment to staying abreast of the latest developments in the field. He also sits on the Ethics Committee of the New South Wales Law Society.
In addition to his work with legal entities, Moller has a keen interest in governance and assists a number of not-for-profit entities with their legal and regulatory compliance. He also acts as a trusted advisor to a number of large financial institutions and corporate clients.
Moller's experience includes leading in a risk and compliance function for an international law firm. He is an Advisory Board Member for the Australasian Chapter of the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS).
Moller is experienced in dealing with a range of regulators, both in Australia and overseas, including the Australian Transaction and Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC). He participates in key AML/CTF industry conferences and discussions, providing expert insights into regulatory developments and practical compliance implementation.
In summary, Jeremy Moller is a valuable resource for entities navigating the complex world of AML/CTF compliance, particularly in the context of the new Tranche 2 regulations. His holistic approach, combined with his extensive experience and professional network, make him an ideal advisor for businesses seeking to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.
