There has been speculation that third-party deals would play an increasingly significant role as clubs try to test the limits of the new player movement rules, but Akermanis is confident Ken Wood, the League's chief investigator, will ensure everything remains above board.
"Every third party agreement that I know of - and I can only speak for myself - the AFL check them and re-check to make sure everything is alright," Akermanis said from Whitten Oval on Thursday.
"I like to call my third party agreements 'work' because that's pretty much what it is. You can see my columns and my radio stuff so from my point of view it's pretty transparent.
"The AFL likes it that way and from my end I've had no problems. Ken Wood's a little bit like the tax department when they audit you - they don't miss a thing and everyone's happy."
Akermanis believes his own acrimonious parting with the Brisbane Lions could have been avoided if the free agency agreement had been in place when his relationship turned sour.
He explained that in 2006 both he and the Lions were ready to part ways but the club had all the power.
"It will make a huge difference to be able to say 'I'm going there' and know that it's going to happen whereas I was still not sure until draft day," Akermanis said.
"This is going to be a work in progress and I think they'll get it right. I think it will be tightened up to the point where you can't really flaunt [the rules].
"The NFL did it and I think eight of the first nine years they had a new [super bowl] winner and the ability to have players move freely was the catalyst.
"I think that's where this competition is going and I think it's going to be exciting for the fans."
The free agency agreement brokered between the AFL and the AFL Players' Association last month will come into effect for the 2012 season.
Jason Akermanis is a $413,200 forward in this year's Toyota AFL Dream Team.
