What is a suspicious matter report?
If you suspect that a person or transaction is linked to a crime, you must submit a suspicious matter report (SMR) to AUSTRAC. SMRs help protect Australia against money laundering, terrorism financing and other serious and organised crime. They are also an important part of your AML/CTF reporting obligations.
How to write an smr?
A good SMR explains clearly and concisely why you think the customers behaviour is suspicious. Use your own words and include as many details as possible. For example, if you cant identify the customer, you might include details about how old they looked, what they were wearing, the colour of their hair etc.
Who is required to file a SAR?
When do I submit a SAR? As soon as you know or suspect that a person is engaged in money laundering or dealing in criminal property, you must submit a SAR.
