3 SYNOPSIS OF THE SUPERVISORY PROCESS 3

4 SYNOPSIS OF THE SUPERVISORY PROCESS (cont’d) a) Traditional Prudential Supervision (PS):  Focuses on capital, solvency, asset quality, earnings, liquidity, management, etc.  Pays attention to legal compliance (LC) (or rules-based approach to supervision) on Laws, Regulations, Circulars, Directives, Guidelines, other enforceable instruments.  Relies on checklist of items and issues  Lays emphasis on financial penalties b) Risk based approach (RBA) to prudential supervision (PS):  Focuses on credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, legal risk, etc.  Ensures compliance with previous recommendations/observations  Sometimes, does not capture or appropriately capture money laundering/terrorism financing risks. NOTE: There is nothing like pure risk-based approach without attention to compliance with laws and regulations. c) RBA to AML/CFT Supervision:  Complements Prudential Supervision and Legal Compliance  Pays special attention to ML/FT risks (in view of their evils)  Complies with FATF Recommendation No. 1 4

5 SYNOPSIS OF THE SUPERVISORY PROCESS (cont’d)  RBA to AML/CFT requires a re-focusing and re-tooling of supervisory practices because of the wide areas and plenty issues to cover urgency required and dangers involved, etc.  Approach to supervision of policies, procedures, guidelines, regulations, etc. often depend on who conducts AML/CFT supervision:  Prudential Supervisor (Central Bank, Securities Commission, Insurance Regulator)  Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)  General supervisor or specialized AML/CFT Unit  Shared responsibility with various stakeholders - Challenges include lack of coordination, cooperation, fragmented approach, and conflicting priorities. 5

6 BENEFITS OF A RISK-BASED APPROACH  Ensures that institutions have in place structured, uniform approach to measuring and evaluating risks.  RBA focuses on:  Structural/institutional risk factors; and  Principal business lines and activities of FIs.  Enhances more efficient use of time and supervisory resources(safe cost and resources).  Focus is on higher risk areas and risk to significant business activities.  Provides input to conduct sectoral and national risk assessments. 6

7 OVERVIEW OF RISK-PROFILING OF INSTITUTIONS 7

8 OVERVIEW OF RISK-PROFILING OF INSTITUTIONS (cont’d) 1. Analysis of Structural Factors and Components of Know Your Institutions (KYI) General information on FI:  Structural and Institutional issues  Ownership (e.g. complexity, transparency, country)  Size  Age, etc.  Complexity and scope of business and markets  Financial groups, type of clients (retail vs. wholesale), technology, etc.  Management  Fit and proper rules and practice, organizational culture (appetite for risk, compliance) and cooperation with authorities, etc.  Competitive environment and position in the sector  Reputation in the industry  Press reports  Examiners’ Reports 8

9 OVERVIEW OF RISK-PROFILING OF INSTITUTIONS (cont’d) 1. Analysis of Structural Factors and Component of KYI (Cont’d)  Growth Policies: Aggressive vs. conservative.  Funding Sources: Equity, deposits, borrowing.  Liquidity: Surplus vs. shortage.  Solvency and Earnings: Strong vs. weak.  Sources of Income: Interest, premium, fees, commissions, Peer group comparison.  Staff Incentives and Reward System: Salary, bonuses, etc.  STR reporting to NFIU  Other statutory reports to LEAs & Regulatory authorities  Industry intelligent Reports  Is it worthwhile to comply?

35 CONTROL/MITIGANTS QUESTIONNAIRE 35  The rating given to each of the seven components identified (governance, risk management systems, policies and procedures, internal controls, compliance, reporting and training) is used as data-input to the matrix (mitigants part) to profile each bank’s net risk.  Rating: Use a scale of 1 (Strong) through 4 (weak/non - existence). When assigning a rating, the Supervisor must take into account the balance between policy, procedures and their implementation.  Assessment of implementation will largely be conducted during onsite inspections.
