The cost of getting it wrong

In Australia, non-compliance penalties can reach $22 million per breach, plus daily penalties of around $18,000. AUSTRAC and FATF expect group-wide consistency and accountability. Recent enforcement actions – including CBA ($700M) and Westpac ($1.3B) – demonstrate the regulator's posture.

Type of Failure

Financial Impact

Late or inaccurate reporting $50K–$200K per breach
System weakness or ongoing failure $1M–$30M+ potential penalties
Severe or systemic non-compliance Business-threatening enforcement

Figures based on current penalty-unit values.

 

In 2023–24, the cost of organised crime to Australia grew to $82.3 billion, a sharp $13.6 billion increase from $68.7 billion the previous year.*
