Anti Money Laundering/Counter Terrorism Financing Risk
Risk Based Assessment & Risk Classification
It is unrealistic that a business would operate in a completely risk free environment in terms of Money Laundering / Terrorist Financing (ML/TF). Therefore it is required that a
business identifies the ML/TF risks it faces then works out the best ways to reduce and manage that risk. Based on the identification information provided by the client and the
relationship with the client, a risk classification must be assigned to each client.
Below are some events/risks that we have provided to assist you with assigning a risk classification to your client.
How to apply the Risk based assessment criteria for your clients
When determining the appropriate risk level and the correct treatment/action for each client, follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Ask yourself: Is the client.... (Risks 1 - 19)?
Then note the Risk Score;
Ask yourself: Is the designated service one where.... (Risks 20 - 28)?
Then note the Risk Score;
Ask yourself: Is the delivery of the designated service where.... (Risks 29 - 33)?
Then note the Risk Score;
Ask yourself: Is the jurisdiction.... (Risks 34 - 39)?
Then note the Risk Score;
NB:
 It is essential to make an assessment from each Risk section (Client Type, Designated Service, Delivery and Jurisdiction) remembering that there may be more than one
answer for each Risk section;
 The overall client Identification and Verification requirement is ascertained by identifying each Risk Score as determined by the above process, and apply whichever
Treatment/Action is the highest.
Once this assessment has been undertaken, use the information to complete the ‘AML/CTF CLIENT RISK CLASSIFICATION & CHECKLIST’ and hold on the client file.
NB:
 Only steps 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 plus the date, client name, adviser name and signature are required when you utilise the above method;
At a minimum verification must be obtained for the client’s name and either date of birth or address.
