Mitigating the blind spot of third-party risk and compliance
The array of operational activities undertaken by different corporate sectors makes them particularly prone to a number of financial crime risks. Exploring how using an effective financial crime risk assessment can help organizations combat financial crime. Financial crime risk assessment in the corporate sectors (energy trading & supply, telco, real-estate, precious metals and stones, etc.) has long been a key requirement of global financial crime regulation and guidance. Whilst these requirements have historically focused on Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABC) program, regulators increasingly expect organizations to broaden their domain compliance coverage beyond corruption and bribery.
Understand anti-bribery laws and regulations and identify potential warning signs of bribery and corruption.
National and international regulators are expecting the corporate sectors to implement an effective compliance framework that includes the fight against Money Laundering (ML) and Terrorist Financing (TF) risks, as part of their enforcement actions. Recent evaluations of different countries in the Middle-East by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the inter-governmental body and global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, has highlighted the importance that national regulators are placing on the deployment of an effective risk assessment in combatting financial crime in the corporate sectors.
