This bill will amend the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 so that the core obligations will also apply to real estate agents, lawyers, accountants, conveyancers, the New Zealand Racing Board, and some high-value dealers, and also establishes the Department of Internal Affairs as the relevant anti-money laundering and countering financing of terrorism supervisor for these entities.
