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.
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.
How Can You Determine Your Inherent ML/TF Risk?
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.
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.
