About duely

Built for the work Australian firms actually have to do under Tranche 2

We built duely because knowing the rules is not enough. Firms need a practical way to onboard customers, document decisions, handle suspicious matters and produce a record that stands up to review later.

Why we built duely

Most compliance work breaks down in the gap between policy and practice. The policy exists. The work happens. Then someone has to reconstruct the file.

duely closes that gap by capturing decisions, rationale and evidence while the work happens, so no one has to rebuild the file later.

What we believe

Compliance should attach to the engagement

Customers are onboarded once, and each engagement that includes a designated service carries its own risk assessment, approval, and evidence trail.

  • Risk rating From the AUSTRAC questions Medium

  • Conclusion Starts the 7-year retention Concluded
One transaction. Everyone on it carries their own due diligence.

The output is a defensible record

Each record holds the decisions, rationale, timestamps and evidence behind the work, in a form that stands up to review.

Evidence pack

Standard pack

  • Engagement and designated services Scoping decision and rationale
  • Customer and beneficial owners Ownership and control structure
  • Verification and screening Method, result and screening decisions
  • Risk assessment Rating, factors and rationale
  • Enhanced due diligence Where triggered
  • Approval Approver, timestamp and rationale
Each version is a PDF with a SHA-256 hash of its contents.

Suspicious matter handling should be isolated by design

Layered controls restrict suspicious matter records to the AML/CTF compliance officer (AMLCO), which reduces the risk of tipping off.

One engagement, two views

Illustrative

  • Risk rating Staff see: Medium The AMLCO sees: Medium
  • Unusual activity report Staff see: Submitted The AMLCO sees: Escalated
  • Suspicious matter case Staff see: Nothing shown The AMLCO sees: Open
  • Lodgement deadline Staff see: Nothing shown The AMLCO sees: 3 business days
  • Evidence pack Staff see: No SMR data The AMLCO sees: No SMR data
Suspicious matter records are kept apart from the engagement. Staff get no sign that one exists.

Australian firms should not have to adapt tools built for other regimes

Tranche 2 is an Australian regime. The tools should follow Australian obligations, Australian terminology and the Australian rollout dates.

duely is a compliance workflow platform. It does not replace legal judgement, and it does not guarantee compliance. It helps firms structure their work, capture evidence and keep a clear record of what they did and why.
