Flagship AML

Our team includes qualified lawyers who have worked in global law firms and operated their own small businesses. This combination of knowledge and skill allows us to understand the complexity of Australia’s AML/CTF compliance landscape, and the pressure on small business owners who must now comply under Tranche 2. This is why we built the Flagship AML compliance tool, to help small businesses navigate their way through their AML/CTF obligations.

Flagship AML makes it faster and simpler to comply, assess risk, maintain records and stay audit ready. It reduces your compliance costs and saves you valuable time so you can focus on running and growing your business.

How we are different

Privacy first by design

Flagship AML is designed to minimise data handling. We do not conduct client identity screening or store identification documents. Verification remains the responsibility of the reporting entity, whether through third party providers such as Australia Post Digital ID or through verification of original documents or certified copies under the firm’s own procedures.

You remain in control of your records

We do not retain copies of your generated KYC or risk assessment reports. Once created, it is your responsibility to download and securely store these files. This approach ensures your client data remains under your control and is not shared with third parties or stored offshore.

Respect for professional judgement and privilege

Flagship AML does not provide guidance on whether legal professional privilege applies. Where privilege may arise, that assessment properly sits with the firm and must be made on a case by case basis. Our platform supports AML CTF compliance processes while respecting professional independence and legal judgement.

Daniel Ward
Daniel Ward (Dan)

LLB, B.Int Bus

Dan has spent more than a decade advising major organisations on complex regulatory and commercial matters, drawing on experience gained with leading international law firms such as Norton Rose Fulbright and Ashurst.

Dan has worked extensively on regulatory matters in both Australia and Papua New Guinea, giving him a strong international perspective on AML compliance challenges.
Alongside his international legal career, Dan has spent more than 28 years establishing and operating small businesses. This commercial experience gives him a practical understanding of the operational, financial, and regulatory factors that drive professional practices.

Through his advisory work, he observed the increasing compliance demands placed on smaller professional firms. While AML/CTF frameworks were originally developed for banks and large financial institutions, responsibility for compliance has progressively extended to thousands of professional service providers, many of whom have not traditionally maintained dedicated compliance functions.

Dan founded Flagship AML to take the stress out of AML/CTF compliance. The platform cuts through complex rules and turns them into a fast, step by step process that professionals can complete with confidence. No expensive consultants. No wasted time. Just a smarter, simpler way to stay compliant.
