Inherent Risk Assessment for Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Luxembourg’s Corporate Sector
=====================================================
Step 1: Inherent Risk Assessment
The inherent risk assessment is a critical step in identifying the vulnerabilities of Luxembourg’s corporate sector that could be exploited for money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) purposes.
Types of Inherent Risks
There are two types of inherent risks:
Corporate Risk
This assesses the inherent vulnerabilities in Luxembourg’s corporate environment that could be exploited for ML/TF purposes.
Entity-Type Specific Risk
This evaluates the specific legal characteristics of each type of legal person and legal arrangement that could hamper transparency and facilitate anonymity.
Inherent Vulnerabilities
The report identifies several inherent vulnerabilities, including:
Threats
These are considered in the Corporate risk assessment, combining threats with corporate inherent vulnerabilities to determine the level of corporate inherent risk.
Predicate Offences
The report assesses threats relevant to the misuse of Luxembourg’s corporate sector, such as money laundering, tax crimes, corruption and bribery, fraud and forgery, and terrorist financing.
Assessment Criteria
The report uses a scorecard to evaluate the inherent vulnerabilities and threat levels on a scale of “Very Low,” “Low,” “Medium,” “High,” and “Very High.”
Table 2: Inherent Vulnerability Scores and Outcomes
Inherent Vulnerability Score | Outcome |
---|---|
1.00 - 1.79 | Very Low |
1.80 - 2.59 | Low |
2.60 - 3.39 | Medium |
3.40 - 4.19 | High |
4.20 - 5.00 | Very High |
Table 3: Threat Levels
Level | Description |
---|---|
Very Low | Minimal exposure to threats |
Low | Limited exposure to threats |
Medium | Moderate exposure to threats |
High | Significant exposure to threats |
Very High | Extreme exposure to threats |
