The Anti-Money
Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 requires organisations affected by the Act to have an employee due diligence program for employees involved in the provision of designated services.

AS 4811—2006 Australian Standard Employment Screening may be a useful base for such a program.

The objective of the screening process is to reduce the risk of a potential security breach and to ensure the integrity, identity and credentials of personnel within an organization.

Employment screening, for the purpose of this Standard, is the process of verifying, with the consent of the individual, the identity, integrity and credentials of an entrusted person and should apply to any individual that is, or will be, entrusted with resources and/or assets.
