Country risk moves the customer rating
Domicile, registration and countries of operation are questionnaire items, so a higher-risk jurisdiction raises the customer's overall score.

Common questions
Which sources and indicators drive the rating?
A FATF assessment scores technical compliance against the 40 recommendations and effectiveness against its immediate outcomes, and the result carries black- and grey-list markers, sanctioned-country indicators and tax-haven indicators compiled from the EU, IMF, Oxfam and the Corporate Tax Haven Index.
How does jurisdiction risk feed into customer risk?
Country of residence, country of registration and countries of business activity are question items in the risk assessment, so a higher-risk jurisdiction raises the customer's rating when the questionnaire is completed alongside a scan.
How often are ratings updated?
Ratings are kept current as FATF listings, sanctions regimes and other designations change, so a jurisdiction newly added or removed is reflected in your assessments rather than left stale. Results and reports also carry the black- and grey-list markers with links to the source.
Does it cover cross-border and counterparty risk?
Yes. Jurisdiction information travels with every scan of the entity, and locations linked to any matched profile are shown alongside it, so a counterparty's country exposure reaches the reviewer as part of the same result rather than a separate lookup.
