AML Risk Management

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Banks and most financial institutions must have anti-money laundering (AML) programs to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Reviewing every customer, account, product and service in depth often isn't feasible, so a risk-based approach shows where to focus. This 60-minute AML risk management webinar explains how to build one.

By basing decisions on higher-risk factors, institutions can address the biggest risks more efficiently, and a good program also better satisfies regulators.

You'll learn what AML risk management is and why regulators prefer it, which elements to consider, how to create a risk profile and matrix, how to use it in operations, how to evaluate effectiveness, and how the same principles help elsewhere in the business.
