Enterprise Risk Assessment
Assess customer, product, channel, geography, transaction, delivery, and emerging risks.
FATF Recommendations
FATF-Aligned Financial Crime Risk Controls
Strengthen risk-based AML/CFT governance, customer controls, monitoring, escalation, information, and assurance.
Risk-Based Controls
Apply enhanced attention where risk is higher and proportionate measures where it is lower.
Customer and Transaction Controls
Connect due diligence, screening, monitoring, investigation, escalation, and records.
Governance and Assurance
Define accountability, reporting, training, testing, findings, and continuous improvement.
Overview
Translate the Risk-Based Approach Into Effective Controls
The FATF Recommendations establish international standards for combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing. We help financial institutions connect risk assessment and policy expectations to customer due diligence, beneficial ownership, screening, monitoring, escalation, reporting, records, management information, training, and assurance.
FATF does not certify individual institutions. Local legal and regulatory requirements take precedence and should be confirmed with the responsible authorities and legal advisers.
