How Vault screens compliance officers
AU regulatory knowledge is non-negotiable — here's how we test for it.
AUSTRAC enrolment & reporting
Assessed for practical knowledge of AUSTRAC AML/CTF programmes, SMR/TTR obligations, and the enrolment and reporting framework for different entity types.
AFSL / ACL regulatory knowledge
Screened for understanding of ASIC regulatory guides, AFSL/ACL conditions, best interests duty, responsible lending, and RG 271 IDR requirements.
APRA prudential standards exposure
For bank, credit union, and insurer placements — candidates are assessed for familiarity with relevant APRA prudential standards.
Compliance documentation discipline
Compliance roles require meticulous record-keeping. We screen specifically for documentation discipline, audit trail maintenance, and breach-reporting accuracy.
