Financial institutions in Australia are required to report IFTIs (International Funds Transfer Instructions) to
AUSTRAC under the Financial Transaction Reports Act (FTR Act) in existence with the Anti-Money Laundering
and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act). SIRA is a Microsoft Windows based application,
developed by Decillion Solutions Australia, which enables a bank to automate the creation of IFTI reports. It
does this by extracting SWIFT payment messages (e.g. MT 103) from batch files produced by SWIFT Alliance
Entry/Access and automatically generates a text file in a format specified by AUSTRAC. Using this program to
generate IFTI reports takes only a few seconds, thereby saving your business hours, sometimes days of
tedious data entry.
PLEASE NOTE: SIRA can also be adapted for reporting requirements in other countries other than Australia.
