With over 400 attendees in 2024, this year’s ACE25 Accounting Conference and Expo is expected to be bigger than ever with the highly anticipated one-day event offering attendees in-depth insights on regulatory changes for the coming year.
Jessica Tsiakis, Partner at Holding Redlich will deliver a keynote address where she will explore how accounting professionals and businesses can prepare for changes to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act (AML/CTF).
Her session will reflect on the Bill to amend Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Act 2006 that was introduced into Parliament last year.
The legislation expands the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing regime to certain high-risk services provided by accountants, lawyers, trust and company service providers, and real estate professionals.
Tsiakis’ keynote will examine the new regime, discuss why it was introduced, how it will apply to accountants, and what is required from professionals and businesses to ensure compliance.
Tsiakis brings over 20 years of experience across Australia and Europe to ACE25 Accounting Conference and Expo.
Her career spans private practice, litigation, and in-house counsel with experience across national and international law firms, a global insurer and a private investment company.
Tsiakis is currently a Partner at Holding Redlich in the Melbourne Dispute Resolution & Litigation team. In her role, she represents both large corporations in complex multi-party disputes and acts for smaller businesses, companies, and individuals.
