Holistically addressing financial crime and fraud risks for optimal risk mitigation

Risk Mitigation

To succeed in the increasingly competitive fintech and banking industry, businesses need to deploy cutting-edge technologies and implement efficient strategies for meeting the expanding regulatory requirements. Given the dynamic nature of the sanctions landscape and the ever-expanding list of sanctioned parties with which businesses must comply, ensuring that your company never does business with a sanctioned person or entity becomes increasingly challenging. 

A critical part of the customer due diligence (CDD) process, screening for sanctions risk is required for all entities across  industries. Sanctions violations frequently result in harsh penalties. Designing and implementing processes for mitigating compliance risks is the first and most fundamental duty of a compliance professional. 

Compliance officers should check that their sanctions compliance programs are in line with OFAC and other applicable sanctions guidelines to reduce the likelihood of breaking sanctions. Specific components of companies’ sanctions compliance measures will be examined to ascertain whether they are up to the set standards as part of the evaluation of both the adequacy and the effectiveness of their sanctions` compliance program. 

When choosing the right tool to deploy, companies are facing challenges that stand beyond the basic checklist including price, deployment complexity and fit for purpose. The growing need to use sophisticated technology to address the quickly changing regulatory environment comes as a direct consequence of the increased digitization of the economy, which inevitably leads to higher levels of financial crime threats. Choosing a platform that can address both fraud and regulatory risks comes handy not only in terms of pricing and in the ROI companies see when optimizing their corporate tool, but also in preserving frictionless user experience for low risk customers.
