## When to use it

Use when a legal practice is enrolled, or about to enrol, and needs the notification date for its AML/CTF compliance officer. It does not describe the officer's duties. That page was not opened.

## Used for these tasks

- [Build the practice's risk assessment and AML/CTF policies](https://ailawframework.com/obligations/aml-ctf-the-practice-as-a-reporting-entity/build-the-practice-s-risk-assessment-and-aml-ctf-policies.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may count 14 days from an enrolment date the lawyer has entered; the lawyer decides which notification limb applies and who is named.

**AI may:**

- Enter the enrolment date and add 14 days
- Compare that date with 29 July 2026 and show the later of the two

**AI must not:**

- Must not pick the compliance officer
- Must not apply the 30 May 2026 date to a practice that was not enrolled on 30 March 2026
- Must not describe the officer's duties from a page that was not opened

**The lawyer checks:**

- The limb is recorded before a date is used
- A newly regulated practice uses the later of 14 days after enrolment and 29 July 2026, as the page states
- The worksheet says the standard 14-day rule applies after the transitional period, without inventing the end date of that period
