Setting up risk assessments

Accupe provides a built-in risk assessment framework to help you evaluate and categorise client risk.

Creating a risk assessment

  1. Go to the client's Compliance tab.
  2. Click New Risk Assessment.
  3. Answer the guided questions covering:
  • Nature of the client's business
  • Source of funds
  • Geographic risk factors
  • Political exposure (PEP status)
  1. Accupe automatically calculates a risk score.

Risk categories

Reviewing and updating

Risk assessments should be reviewed periodically. Accupe will notify you when a review is due based on the risk category:

  • Low Risk: every 36 months
  • Medium Risk: every 12 months
  • High Risk: every 6 months
Audit trail: Every change to a risk assessment is logged with a timestamp and the user who made the modification.
