Money Laundering Risks
What are the risks to banks?
(i) Reputational risk
(ii) Legal risk
(iii) Operational risk (failed internal processes, people and systems & technology)
(iv) Concentration risk (either side of balance sheet)
All risks are inter-related and together have the potential of causing serious threat to the survival of the bank
![Page 17: By M.RAVINDRAN JOINT DIRECTOR INDIAN INSTITUTE OF BANKING & FINANCE MUMBAI Basics of Anti-Money Laundering & Know Your Customer](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5519f8f85503462e378b4628/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reputational Risk:
• The potential that adverse publicity regarding a bank’s business practices, whether accurate or not, will cause a loss of confidence in the integrity of the institution
• Reputational Risk : a major threat to banks as confidence of depositors, creditors and general market place to be maintained
• Banks vulnerable to Reputational Risk as they can easily become a vehicle for or a victim of customers’ illegal activities
![Page 18: By M.RAVINDRAN JOINT DIRECTOR INDIAN INSTITUTE OF BANKING & FINANCE MUMBAI Basics of Anti-Money Laundering & Know Your Customer](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5519f8f85503462e378b4628/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Operational Risk
• The risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events
• Weaknesses in implementation of banks’ programmes, ineffective control procedures and failure to practise due diligence
![Page 19: By M.RAVINDRAN JOINT DIRECTOR INDIAN INSTITUTE OF BANKING & FINANCE MUMBAI Basics of Anti-Money Laundering & Know Your Customer](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5519f8f85503462e378b4628/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Legal Risk
• The possibility that lawsuits, adverse judgements or contracts that turn out to be unenforceable can disrupt or adversely affect the operations or condition of a bank
• Banks may become subject to lawsuits resulting from the failure to observe mandatory KYC standards or from the failure to practise due diligence
• Banks can suffer fines, criminal liabilities and special penalties imposed by supervisors

Concentration Risk

• On liabilities side: Risk of early and sudden withdrawal of funds by large depositors- damages to liquidity
