Why Your Business-Wide Risk Assessment (BWRA) Isn’t Reducing Financial Crime Risk

Thursday 2 July 2026 | 11:00 (BST) | 60 Minutes

This webinar is hosted in conjunction with:

           

Financial crime training is everywhere. Yet, risk is still getting through.

Most firms are doing the work. Training is delivered, completion rates are high, and frameworks look solid. So why does financial crime risk still persist?

Because the problem often sits upstream in the BWRA.

Too many BWRAs identify risk but fail to translate it into practical decisions: who you onboard, how you verify identity, how customer risk is assessed, when enhanced due diligence is triggered, what staff are expected to spot, and how controls are evidenced when challenged.

The result? Training becomes activity. Controls become process. Risk remains real.

In this free 60-minute webinar, Adrian Harvey (Chairman & Co-Founder of Elephants Don’t Forget) is joined by Matt Russell (Head of Risk Assessments at Avyse Partners) and Colum Lyons (CEO & Founder of ID-Pal) to unpack how firms can turn their BWRA from a static compliance document into a live driver of behaviour, controls, and measurable risk reduction.

Built for MLROs, Heads of Financial Crime, Compliance Officers, and risk leaders, this session will cut through the noise and focus on what works.

Discussion topics include:

  • Why isn’t good training reducing risk?
  • Is your BWRA hiding in plain sight?
  • How do you move from awareness to action?
  • What do leading firms think, do, and prioritise differently?
