Risk assessments extend beyond country and client profiles. Delivery channels, industry sectors, and client characteristics all introduce risks that demand careful consideration.

This session, led by Dr. Tanya McCartney, examines how often-overlooked factors can significantly influence your AML/CFT risk assessments. From delivery channels and business models to industries, economic sectors, and client typologies, we look at how these elements amplify or mitigate risk in practice.

Through practical case studies, attendees explored how to:

• Recognize red flags across delivery channels and industries
• Apply enhanced due diligence where structural or ownership complexity exists
• Document and communicate risk assessments in a way that stands up to regulatory scrutiny

Whether you’re building, refining, or testing your AML framework, this discussion provides valuable insights into strengthening your approach.
