Business risk assessment
Business risk assessments help you know the risks your business is exposed to. And business risk assessment lets you identify these risks. Such risk analysis involves categorizing risks from customers, transactions, geographies, delivery channels, products/services, and third parties.
Once you know the risks, you can plan actions against them. You can decide the strategies to execute to fight the high-risk aspects. You can measure the impact of low risks; if not much, you can ignore them. Thus, business risk assessment allows you to define the AML strategy to prevent, manage, or mitigate these risks.
We conduct an in-depth assessment of your business to identify different risk types. You can also find the degree of risks and likelihood of their occurrence. Studying each risk’s impact on your operations and defining control measures for them is also included.
Based on the business risk assessment, we help you create AML strategy and AML compliance programs. Thus, risk analysis helps prevent money laundering and other financial crimes. Such business risk assessments let you enjoy AML compliance in UAE and protect your finances.
