How is the country risk score calculated?
We use a statistical model with prioritisation and weighting, designed to reflect expert judgement while relying only on open and accessible sources.
Which sources do you use?
Well known sources such as FATF, the European Commission list of high risk third countries, the EU list of non cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes, World Bank data and openly licensed corruption indices. We also use trade data, border and border openness data, transparency proxies and more.
How often are the scores updated?
The model runs every day. If the underlying sources have not changed, the scores stay the same.
Do you separate money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions risk?
Yes. Each is assessed in its own model.
Can we adjust the model to our own risk appetite?
Not at the moment, but customer adjustments may be added in the future.
Can we see how a country got its rating?
Yes. All reasoning and underlying data is available on the platform.
Can we try it for free?
Yes. Book a demo or order three country reports free of charge.
Is the model AMLR compliant?
Yes. All AMLR requirements on how to assess country risk are built into the model.
