Six risk assessment services

From national risk to
the risk in every client file.

01

National AML/CFT/CPF risk assessment

We help competent authorities identify, assess and understand their country's money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing risks, in line with FATF Recommendation 1 and its national risk assessment guidance.

02

Sectoral AML/CFT risk assessment

Banking, insurance, capital markets, fintechs, DNFBPs: for regulators and obliged entities alike, we deliver typologies, sector risk ratings and supervisory guidance.

03

Enterprise-wide AML/CFT risk assessment

We identify your inherent risks by client segment, product, channel and geography, then test your controls to establish your true residual risk.

04

AML/CFT programme review & gap analysis

We test your programme against applicable rules and FATF standards. You get every gap, ranked by severity, and a clear plan to fix them before the inspection.

05

Regulatory inspection readiness

We run the inspection the way your regulator would, find the weak points and prepare your compliance function, your documentation and your senior management.

06

FATF mutual evaluation support

Pre-assessment diagnostics, action plans, technical compliance reviews and effectiveness preparation, for countries under mutual evaluation or follow-up.

Our method

Every conclusion
backed by evidence.

Every AFINUR assessment follows a method aligned with FATF guidance. The result: conclusions you can defend, act on and present to your regulator.

01

Scoping & data collection

We set the scope, then gather quantitative and qualitative data: internal systems, regulatory returns and interviews with key staff.

02

Threats & vulnerabilities

We assess money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation threats and vulnerabilities, using typologies and sector risk indicators.

03

Risk scoring & mapping

Structured scoring produces inherent risk, control effectiveness and residual risk, mapped across every relevant dimension.

04

Gaps & findings

We compare the current state with applicable rules and FATF standards, and rate every gap by severity.

05

Remediation plan & report

A prioritised remediation plan with owners and deadlines, plus a full report ready for the board, management and the regulator.

What is at stake

What the regulator
will come to check.

Mutual evaluation pressure

A weak national risk assessment, or institutions that misunderstand their risks, can lead to enhanced follow-up, grey-listing and lasting reputational damage.

Tougher inspections

Regulators are moving from rules-based to risk-based inspections. An institution that cannot show a sound, documented risk assessment is exposed to enforcement.

A poorly calibrated risk-based approach

A poorly calibrated assessment wastes compliance resources: too much effort on low risks, not enough on high exposures.

Emerging risks left uncovered

Digital assets, virtual IBANs, correspondent banking, complex ownership structures: new risks that existing assessments rarely capture.

Will your risk assessment
survive the next inspection?

A risk assessment that cannot withstand supervisory scrutiny is not an assessment — it is a liability. We build outputs that regulators recognise as authoritative.
