AUSTRAC has ordered Bankstown District Sports Club Ltd to appoint an independent external auditor to assess its compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations. The directive addresses concerns that weak controls at the club's poker machines could enable criminals to launder cash through fake gambling winnings. The mandated audit will evaluate the venue's risk management programs and monitoring systems, with findings determining whether further regulatory enforcement is necessary.
