# How to Complete the AML Risk Assessment for Trusts

## Summary

This guide walks you through completing the digitized AML risk assessment for an organization as part of your KYB onboarding workflow.

## When to Use This

Use this step after your initial compliance checks have returned. It allows you to evaluate inherent risks based on specific scenarios and automatically attributes a risk rating to the client.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Navigate to the **AML Summary** tab within your client's onboarding record.
2. Locate the **Risk Assessment** item in the checklist and click **Complete** (or Edit if previously started).
3. Review the digitized scenario-based risks, which are pulled directly from AUSTRAC inherent risk guidelines.
4. Select **Yes** or **No** for each scenario (for example, whether the entity operates in a high-risk country).
5. Review the automatically attributed risk rating (ranging from Low to High) based on your selections.
6. Click **Update risk** to save the assessment to the client's profile.

## Common Questions

* **Where do the risk assessment questions originate from?**
  The questions have been digitized and pulled directly from AUSTRAC inherent risk scenarios.

* **How is the final risk rating calculated?**
  The system automatically attributes ratings ranging from Low to High depending on which scenario-based risks you flag as "Yes".

## Troubleshooting Tips

* If the overall onboarding is marked as high-risk unexpectedly, double-check your assessment to ensure you haven't accidentally selected "Yes" for a high-risk scenario, such as the entity being located in a high-risk country.
