Worksheet mapping each of the practice's matter types against the nine items in Table 6 of s 6(5B), recording whether each is captured, the activity and item it turns on, exclusions, the geographical link, and the enrolment decision.

## When to use it

Complete before deciding whether the practice must enrol with AUSTRAC, and update whenever the practice adds a matter type, service or delivery channel. It is the foundation for the risk assessment and program. It does not cover advice to clients about their own AML/CTF obligations.

## How AI may be used

AI can build the first draft of the map from the practice's matter-type list and recent files, extracting the activity actually performed, but the principal decides each capture question and approves the map.

**AI may:**

- From the matter-type list and files opened in the last 12 months, build a row for each matter type against each Table 6 item with the activity actually performed.
- Mark each row captured, not captured or unresolved, with the item number it turns on, for the principal to decide.
- List matter types where the activity is unclear from the file, for follow-up.

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide that a matter type is outside Table 6 or within an exclusion.
- Must not rely on matter titles alone; the activity performed decides capture.
- Must not be given client files in a tool not approved for client information.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Each "not captured" conclusion has a recorded reason tied to the Act or AUSTRAC guidance.
- Unresolved rows are resolved before any designated service is provided.
- The approval date and enrolment decision are recorded and diarised for review.
