Within the banking industry, Know Your Customer (or, simply, KYC) requirements help financial services firms assess potential customer risk, as well as to ensure compliance with laws like those around money laundering. To do so, KYC requirements dictate that banks must be able to verify and demonstrably prove their customers’ identities, account for their financial history and activities, and know what kind of risk each customer poses from a financial, reputational and criminal standpoint.
Banks have put into place rigorous due diligence and risk monitoring processes to adhere to KYC requirements. But organizations in virtually every other industry can benefit from this heightened level of risk management as well, despite not being held to the same KYC expectations.
We’ve studied KYC requirements along with other key knowledge areas to create a thorough checklist any organization can use to better assess the risks it faces. While gaps in the list may still exist – after all, no one checklist can account for every variable across a dynamic risk landscape – this checklist is still extensive, and it can help reduce the odds that certain risks are going overlooked.
Here are the elements of our sanctions risk assessment checklist.
Customers, contributors to your supply chain and other third-party entities perhaps pose the greatest risk to your organization (with your internal employees coming in a close second, if not outright tying for first place).
