Getting started: your risk assessment roadmap

Your principles-based guide to building financial crime risk assessments that drive better decisions is here

Building an effective financial crime risk assessment can feel overwhelming. Without the right foundations, it’s easy to end up with an assessment that sits in a drawer rather than driving better decisions for your business.

Produced in partnership with Square 4, this principles-based guide covers what to consider, what to avoid and how to build an assessment that identifies vulnerabilities, allocates resources effectively and builds confidence with regulators.

What’s in the guide

  • Understanding your actual business profile
  • The key risk factors your assessment should address
  • Balancing quantitative data with qualitative judgement
  • Involving the whole business and keeping your assessment current
  • Making your assessment drive better decisions

This guide will help you move beyond the checklist approach and build an assessment that genuinely reflects how your business operates and the risks it faces.
