Description:
A solid AML risk assessment is the backbone of any effective compliance program. Regulators expect institutions to use risk assessments not just as a checkbox, but as a tool to guide resources, design controls, and prevent financial crime. This session walks you through how to conduct a practical, actionable AML risk assessment, connect findings to policies and procedures, and measure your program’s effectiveness over time.

We’ll cover how to identify risks across customers, products, services, and geographies, as well as emerging risks like cryptocurrency, P2P payments, and AI-enabled fraud. Using real-world examples, you’ll learn how to translate your assessment into a risk-based program that satisfies regulators and strengthens your organization. Whether you’re in compliance, risk management, or operations, this course equips you with clear steps to make your AML program both practical and defensible.
