The FFIEC manual recommends reassessing your financial institution’s BSA/AML risks every 12 to 18 months. While this process can be managed internally, obtaining an independent review offers valuable perspective and further demonstrates your institution’s commitment to compliance. Over the past 15 years, AML risk assessments have evolved—shifting from a largely qualitative approach to a more detailed, quantitative methodology. ARC Risk and Compliance provides the independent expertise needed to keep your assessments current and defensible.

We employ a scientific approach to quantitatively assess all risk factors, evaluate the effectiveness of your risk mitigation strategies, and determine the overall risk to your institution. By analyzing your bank’s data, we will provide a statistical analysis that clarifies the actual risk level compared to your perceptions.
