Summary

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) published a guidance on money laundering risk analysis and management in August 2023. FINMA conducted a review of 30 banks in the past year and identified shortcomings in this risk area. Weaknesses were found in the following components:

  • Establishment of risk tolerance
  • Set-up of limits to reduce risk
  • Structural elements for a robust and effective risk analysis and management
  • Implementation of appropriate strategies, risk tolerance, risk appetite, and limits

The significant increase in sanctions regimes has also significantly impacted overall risk management in this area.

This event will feature a presentation by a FINMA representative on the outcomes of this review and guidance. There will also be a panel discussion with professionals from banks to share ideas and insights on the following topics:

  • Implementation of risk analysis processes with risk tolerance, risk appetite strategies, and limits to manage money laundering and sanctions risks (definitions, triggers, processes, etc.)
  • How the money laundering risk analysis can be used to identify money laundering risks that are not part of the overall financial institution’s risk tolerance
  • Factors influencing risk appetite and risk tolerances, such as sanctions regimes, reputations, ESG, country ratings, global and regional political changes, cross-border risks, and financial institutions’ knowledge of markets and regions
  • Money laundering risk analysis and limits monitoring processes
  • Management of exceptions and enhanced monitoring and oversight
  • Annual risk assessment of compliance risks and risk-oriented plans related to money laundering risks
  • Global consolidation of money laundering risks for foreign entities
