1 Explanatory Note for Consultation Part 4.4 of the AML/CTF Rules sets out the identification requirements for customers acting in their capacity as trustee of a trust in the form of the applicable customer identification procedure (ACIP). Where the customer is acting in its capacity as a trustee, a reporting entity may use the Simplified Trustee Verification Procedure (STVP) in regard to specified types of trusts. Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) that have elected to be regulated by the Australian Taxation Office are currently eligible to be viewed by reporting entities as subject to the regulatory oversight of a Commonwealth statutory regulator in relation to its activities as a trust under the STVP. As a result of identified criminal abuse of SMSFs, including the falsifying of member details and the creation of falsified funds, AUSTRAC considers that it is no longer appropriate that such funds should be identified by use of the STVP. Such funds will now be subject to the full ACIP requirements relevant to trusts. For further information on the risks posed by criminal activity to SMSFs see: AUSTRAC Information Circular No Criminal activity involving identity theft, false bank accounts and false self-managed superannuation funds available at: The amendments to Chapter 4 are at 4.4.8(3), subparagraph (3) of the STVP, and are highlighted in bold.
