Expected Activity Profiling at Onboarding
At sign-up, ask and record what normal looks like for this customer (how much, how often, to where) so monitoring can later spot when they behave nothing like that.
Customer Due DiligenceNot StartedMediumUnassignedNot set5
Customer Risk Assessment & Rating
Score each new and existing customer for money-laundering risk from clear factors (who they are, what they do, where they are) so the firm spends most effort on the riskiest ones.
Customer Due DiligenceNot StartedHighUnassignedNot set7
High-Risk Corridor & Geography Monitoring
Watches payments to and from higher-risk countries and routes, and flags activity that does not fit the customer or looks designed to disguise where money is really going.
Transaction MonitoringNot StartedHighUnassignedNot set6
Ongoing CDD & Periodic Review
Every customer's identity and risk information is refreshed on a fixed schedule so the firm never relies on stale onboarding data.
Ongoing MonitoringNot StartedMediumUnassignedNot set5
Trigger-Based (Event-Driven) Review
When something material changes about a customer, the firm reviews them straight away instead of waiting for the next scheduled review.
Ongoing MonitoringNot StartedMediumUnassignedNot set5
Dynamic Customer Re-Rating
The customer's risk score is recalculated automatically from their real behaviour, so a customer who starts acting riskier is re-rated without waiting for a manual review.
Ongoing MonitoringNot StartedHighUnassignedNot set5
Agent & Distributor Oversight
The firm vets and keeps watch over the agents and distributors who sell or move money on its behalf, so a rogue or nested agent cannot smuggle dirty money through its rails.

SAR / STR Process & Timeliness
A clear, fast route for staff to raise a suspicion, for the MLRO to decide, and for a report to reach the authorities on time without tipping off the customer.
Governance & ReportingNot StartedHighUnassignedNot set7
Alert & Case Backlog Management
Stop financial crime alerts and cases piling up unworked by tracking how old they are, fixing the cause, and stepping in fast when the queue grows.
