Why Conduct a ML/TF Risk
Assessment?
An Anti Money Laundering / Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) risk assessment will help you identify risks and develop policies and processes to help minimise and manage those risks. It is an unrealistic assumption that a reporting entity would have zero exposure to being used for money laundering and/or terrorism financing activities. As such, an organisation should identify the ML/TF risk as soon as possible and develop frameworks which can be used to prioritise and monitor their exposure to such risk.
How Can You Determine Your Inherent ML/TF Risk?
Develop an appropriate risk assessment methodology or framework, which includes ways to measure the likelihood and impact of ML/TF risk.
Populate the model with all relevant risk and associated risk attributes.
Perform the risk assessment and ensure that its output align with the scoring or ranking mechanisms of the methodology or model.
Once you have determined your inherent risk, you must utilise systems and controls to mitigate that risk. You can then determine the residual risk and apply risk management systems and controls to mange that risk.
Continuous Risk Reviews
An assessment of your ML/TF risk assessment must always
be conducted before the introduction of any new product,
channels, or the development of new techniques implemented
to deliver your service.
In addition to periodic reviews of your systems and controls,
there is a range of circumstances that can trigger an immediate
need to review a product or channel’s ML/TF risk assessment.
Triggers to Perform a Risk Assessment
Increased customer base or increased use of your product or service
Change in the volume or value of transactions
Significant changes have been made to your product or service
Your transaction monitoring identifies unusual patterns
Your ongoing customer due diligence (CDD) checks show a pattern of unusual activity
Checks show an emergence of criminal exploitation of a product or service
External developments that result in the changing of your risk score
Law enforcement communications about the ML/TF risk for your product or channel
