Deep Industry Experience Meets the Best in Technology

Most regulators globally require organisations to conduct periodic assessments of their financial crime risks across the entire enterprise, typically, at least once in a year. These regulations mandate a risk-based approach that helps management identify and mitigate risks through risk-specific controls.


The expectations include an assessment methodology that incorporates various risk factors, is granular in its assessments covering all business units and subsidiaries, and provides an unbiased view of threats and vulnerabilities.

FTI Consulting has developed an automated risk assessment platform that reduces the manual workload on compliance and risk teams, enabling users to focus on analysing and addressing elevated risk factors.

The platform improves the efficiency and effectiveness of current periodic enterprise-wide risk assessment processes. Its highly customisable features enable addressing various risk categories, providing an intuitive workflow, along with extensive dashboard reporting.

Common Challenges with Risk Assessments

When conducted correctly, risk assessment can serve as a valuable tool for comprehending an organisation's financial crime risk and control environment. However, we have observed varying degrees of maturity in this area, with assessments often being perceived as nothing more than a routine tick-box exercise. Some of the common challenges include:

Development of the risk assessment methodology

  • Laborious process to make updates or introduce changes to existing methodology on an ongoing basis (E.g., based on regulatory feedback or strategic changes within the organisation)
  • Challenges with adopting a risk-based approach to develop a holistic assessment methodology

Assessment roll-out

  • Risk assessments are largely manual and currently rolled-out via email or shared folders
  • Prone to error, particularly for complex organisation structures comprising multiple assessment units across geographies

Collection of supporting documentation and audit trails

  • Supporting documents and evidences are often collected and stored separately, making it complex to keep track of data received and map them to relevant risk factors and questions
  • Absence of audit trails as a result of the manual process
