Everything that ChangeGPS offers comes from the proven and highly successful track record of Change Accountants & Advisors. ChangeGPS won the 2021 Xero Practice App of the Year. ChangeGPS was acquired by The Access Group in January 2024.

Appearances:
Day 1 @ 11:20
The $33 million question: Is your firm actually ready for July 1?
No sugarcoating it — when AML/CTF obligations kick in on July 1, 2026, "we are working on it" won't hold up with AUSTRAC. Firms that aren't set up with compliant KYC processes risk penalties of up to $33 million. And with AUSTRAC enrolment opening March 31, the clock is already ticking. The good news? You still have time to get it right.
Join Timothy Munro to see how ChangeGPS can automate and de-risk your KYC obligations in a way that actually fits how accounting firms operate. He’ll show you the exact system you need to comply with all requirements, LIVE!
Turn red tape into opportunity and build the firm you always wanted with ChangeGPS Engage KYC.
BONUS: All scanned attendees get a FREE '5-step Easy Implementation Plan' to get your firm AML-ready.
