Built for Tranche 2 reporting entities managing compliance for clients
Built for firms managing their own compliance
Both CompliDesk and ClearAML are Australian AML/CTF compliance platforms built for Tranche 2. The key difference is who they're designed for. ClearAML is designed for a single firm managing its own AML obligations. CompliDesk is designed for Tranche 2 reporting entities who manage AML compliance as a service for their clients — across an entire practice.
If you are an accounting firm that wants to manage AML compliance for 10, 20, or 50 clients from one dashboard — and bill for it — CompliDesk is built for you. If you just need to manage your own firm's compliance, either product may work.
