What constitutes the risk-based approach?
The risk-based approach involves:
- identifying the money laundering risks that are relevant to a business.
- carrying out a detailed risk assessment of businesses, focusing on customer behaviour, delivery channels, etc.
- carrying out risk assessment of customers.
- designing and putting in place controls to manage and reduce the impact of these risks.
