AUSTRAC orders external compliance audits at two Australian casinos
Australia's AUSTRAC ordered The Ville Resort-Casino in Townsville and Mindil Beach Casino Resort in Darwin to appoint external auditors. The operator-funded audits will assess compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws, including board and senior-management oversight; AUSTRAC will consider further action after reviewing the findings.
The audits could lead to further regulatory action against the two casino operators.
