This framework aims to strengthen the management and mitigation of risks within financial institutions by providing a more structured approach to customer risk assessments. These entities must also maintain a record of the customer\u2019s risk ratings and periodically review them as part of wider ongoing CDD obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The approach as to how Reporting Entities will risk rate clients is likely to remain flexible while a flexible approach is desirable, it can also lead to uncertainty for AML\/CFT\/CFP Compliance Officers and teams. One of the key challenges for Reporting persons will be developing a consistent methodology for risk-rating their customers. This involves creating a meaningful risk methodology, ensuring the accuracy of data used in the assessments, and providing adequate training for staff involved in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, reporting persons will need to validate and calibrate their risk-rating methodologies to avoid under or over-estimating risk long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dynamic risk-scoring system will be essential; one that encompasses evolving transactional patterns, behaviors, and interactions to provide an accurate reflection of a customer\u2019s risk over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the scale of the risk based approach, we recommend that Reporting persons begin planning and implementing their customer risk rating as a matter of urgency.
