Financial Crime Client Risk Assessment

Based on our recent relevant experience P2 FinCrime were asked to support a tier 2 UK bank

14.02.20
The Situaton
  • Following a regulatory review it had been highlighted that the organisation did not have an up to date risk view of its client base
  • The regulator had put the organisation under pressure to resolve this situation and had put restrictions on new business.
Issues
  • The organisation had a static risk rating that relied upon several unconnected risk factors which were open to interpretation
  • The resulting risk score was hard to reconcile and lacked evidence
  • There was a lack of consistency in scoring and thus a lack of confidence in results.
How P2 FinCrime helped
  • Reviewed the existing process and approach in order to establish existing data that could be re used
  • Defined the key elements of a common CRA tool and built out a proof of concept to test the approach with users and stakeholders
  • Each division was reviewed in isolation taking into consideration the differing risk factors of their core clients
  • Having established the minimum data required for a compliant score we engaged Technology to agree on the source of data points
  • Working with front office, compliance, operations, and technology the inputs and outputs were tested and approved
  • Controls were designed to ensure data was robust and exception reports used to seek anomalies
  • An audit trail was established for the CRA scores so that internal and external stakeholders could understand and test outputs
  • All processes, controls, documentation, and approaches were logged and handed over to BAU for ongoing running.
The Outcome
  • The entire customer book was re-rated and new scores loaded onto the core banking platform
  • As a result, a number of customers were downgraded from high to medium or low and some were upgraded to medium or high based on approved data inputs
  • A small number of New High-Risk customers were prioritised for immediate event-driven reviews
  • Periodic Review schedules were re-worked to align to the new risk profiles with a drop in overall demand
  • The regulatory finding was closed once evidence had been reviewed and assurance completed by 2LOD.
