Enterprise-Wide AML & Sanctions Risk Assessment
Dynamic Assessment Following FFIEC Guidelines
Following FFIEC examination guidance as well as international standards set by Basel and FATF-GAFI and standardization guidelines issued by ISO and COSO, RiskRator® dynamically assesses and calculates the BSA/AML/OFAC or AML/CFT risk profile at the enterprise-wide and individual institution’s level.
Assess Risk Overall and by Category
The process combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to generate risk assessment scores for overall risk and by category and calculates Residual Risk of the entity and/or group level.
Provides Strategic Insights into an Entity’s Risk Profile
The assessment process allows you to drill down into the details of each risk rating to understand what is driving both the inherent risk score and your overall Risk Profile, helping you to see:
-
Areas of strength
-
Areas of weakness
-
The impact of stronger/weaker controls on your risk score
-
The potential impact of dropping or adding a product, geographic area, or client class
-
The impact of a potential merger or acquisition
-
How your enterprise-wide risk profile is changing over time and much more
Multivariate Methodology Calculates Residual Risk
RiskRator® contains a wide selection of robust risk mitigation controls, based on regulatory requirements and expectations, to calculate residual risk. As each control is selected, the tool calculates residual risk taking into consideration each risk factor’s inherent risk, which is calculated on quantity of risk, the impact of the potential of each risk event materializing, and quality and effectiveness of the risk mitigation controls.


RiskRator® Contains a Powerful Analytics & Reporting Tool

Dashboards to Mine Insights from your Data
RiskRator® contains a default set of dashboards built from the underlying data provided. The RiskRator® filtering tools help in mining the organization’s data to understand patterns of activity such as the geographical distribution of clients’ payments activity. The organization can further analyze this data by level of risk or whether a client is a PEP or other special category thereby quickly identifying normal patterns or areas of potential concern.

Identify Risk at its Source
The strength of RiskRator® analytics lies in its ability to help you identify risks across many areas of your business. This includes your institution’s “first line of defense” where compliance officers can monitor for vulnerabilities at the branch network and relationship manager levels. This helps identify, in a continuous basis, potential problem areas and helps pinpoint instances where further training or additional remediation measures are in order.

Visualizations for Management, Directors, Auditors, Regulator & Correspondent Banks
RiskRator® provides point-and-click functionality that allows you to quickly move through the institutional story and demonstrate that you have complete oversight and visibility into your compliance operation. Easily arrange your dashboards into creative and informative storyboards providing full transparency of the institution’s position vis-à-vis third-party expectations and industry best practices.

Analyze Risk Over Time
While your risk assessment provides a view of your AML/CFT Compliance related risks for a specific period of time, the reality is that your enterprise risk is constantly changing in line with changes to your client base, product utilization rates, geographic distribution of payments, and adjustments to client risk profiles. In recognition of this reality RiskRator® provides you with the tools to analyze your “risk over time” by identifying behavioral patterns and increases/decreases in risk related activity.

Seamless Drill Downs into areas of concern or interest
With a few simple clicks you can instantly view product utilization across segments, risk classes, and customer geographies. Stepped drill downs are available allowing you to parse your data into more specific categories even right down to the specific account level. You can also download all reports into excel or CSV.
