Ensuring Compliance: How Lens Supports AML, KYC, and Privacy Act Obligations

Regulatory compliance is a critical responsibility for financial advisers and accountants.

1. Simplifying AML & KYC Compliance

AML/CTF and KYC regulations require financial professionals to verify a client’s identity, assess risk, and maintain accurate records. Lens facilitates this by:

  • Providing a structured fact-finding process that ensures all necessary client details are collected.

  • Enabling secure document uploads, such as identification and financial statements, directly within the platform.

  • Allowing for compliant data sharing among trusted referral partners, ensuring all parties have access to verified client information and with your client’s permission.

2. Secure & Compliant Data Handling

Handling sensitive client data comes with privacy obligations under the Australian Privacy Act. Lens helps businesses stay compliant by:

  • Offering a secure, cloud-based platform with encrypted data storage.

  • Providing controlled access via two-factor authentication, ensuring only authorised users can view client information.

  • Allowing businesses to customise data collection, ensuring they gather only the necessary details to meet their licensee’s compliance requirements.

3. Reducing Manual Errors & Duplication

Repetitive data entry increases the risk of human error, which can lead to compliance breaches. Lens minimises these risks by:

  • Integrating with AdviserLogic and Calendly, ensuring seamless data flow.

  • Automatically pre-filling fact finds when receiving client referrals from other professionals.

  • Maintaining an auditable trail of client data, supporting record-keeping requirements.

Lens isn’t just a tool for gathering client information—it’s an essential compliance partner. By automating and securing the fact-finding process, Lens helps financial advisers and accountants meet AML, KYC, and Privacy Act obligations with confidence, while improving client onboarding and collaboration.
