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.
