Hybrid Event
This meeting will be held at the newly renovated office of the CPA Australia NSW and at the CTDG’s Zoom system. We encourage members to attend the event in person to engage with the Speaker/s.
TOPIC: GETTING THE RISK ASSESSMENT RIGHT – THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR AML PROGRAM
We will be focusing on a topic that sits at the heart of the new AML/CTF regime:
Getting the Risk Assessment Right – The Foundation of Your AML Program
Rather than revisiting the basics, this session will take a practical, real-world approach to how firms should actually be approaching AML risk, and why getting this foundation right makes everything else significantly easier.
We’ll cover:
- How to build a Firm Wide Risk Assessment (FWRA) based on what your firm actually does (not just templates)
- The common mistakes we’re seeing across accounting firms, and how to avoid them
- A simple and practical way to assess Likelihood and Impact
- How to define a clear Risk Appetite that drives consistent decisions across your firm
- How FWRA, Risk Appetite and Controls all link together in practice
- Real-life scenarios to show how this applies in day-to-day client work
This session is designed to help you move from:
“We have an AML document”
To
“We have a framework that actually guides decisions in our firm”
