Common questions
Does the FSA require a risk assessment for every customer?
Yes. The FSA requires a customer risk assessment for every customer, and a firm that identifies a risk in its own business, such as domestic political exposure, is expected to mitigate it.
How do the FSA guidelines relate to the APTCP?
The Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds sets what must be done: verification, records and suspicious transaction reports. The FSA guidelines set how the supervisor judges whether it was done well, through a risk-based approach assessed on effectiveness.
Can we use our own risk methodology?
Yes. Risk factors and weights are configurable, so ratings reflect the methodology your business has adopted rather than a fixed template.
How is this different from the global risk assessment page?
The product is the same. This page covers how it applies in Japan: the FSA's expectation of a rating for every customer, rating-driven review, and the portfolio view of a finding. The global page describes the product for every market.
