The Department of Internal Affairs says work is underway on AML Online, which it says is a new secure platform for reporting entities to engage with it online.

In the latest issue of its AML/CFT News, the department says in AML Online, reporting entities will be able to manage their business details, delegate access to others, submit documents securely, and send it queries.

"This year's annual report may also be submitted entirely online," the department says. "This replaces the process used in previous years where a manual PDF had to be completed and submitted."

The department notes that it recently refreshed its website, with improvements including a new landing page, a newsfeed function and sector specific pages.
