FREE AML RISK ASSESSMENT CHECK

Use our free risk assessment tool to identify and evaluate the ML/TF risk posed to your business or individuals/companies that you conduct business with, taking into regard its nature, size and complexity.

What is a Risk Assessment?

A money laundering and terrorism financing risk assessment allow a business to identify and assess the level of risk posed on that business, daily. Conducting an ML/TF risk assessment is a critical part of the AML/CTF program.

A business will never have zero ML/TF risk. There will always be a level of risk and this risk is referred to as the inherent risk to the business.

Why Conduct a Risk Assessment?

Conducting a risk assessment allows a business to identify weakness in their AML/CTF program. This is a key step to comply with AML/CTF regulations, as they change constantly to keep pace with new vulnerabilities arising within the industry.

When conducting a risk assessment there are four elements to consider:

- The type of customer the business engages with

- The type of product or service the business provides

- How the business provides that service or product

- The domestic and overseas jurisdictions the business operates within

A risk assessment needs to be conducted in a scheduled manner. This will allow the business to identify their ML/TF risk regularly and implement a protocol to limit the risk as best possible.

Reviewing Your ML/TF Risk Assessment

The methodology used to conduct the risk assessment must be flexible and able to adapt to the changes that affect your risk level. To ensure a businesses risk assessment is current, the ML/TF risk must be reassessed whenever the following occurs:

A new product or service is provided
A new way is used to deliver that product or service
New technologies are used to provide a new or existing, product or service
Business is conducted within a new jurisdiction
