Kevin Gilligan, Head of Business Advisory

In today's regulatory environment, licensed firms face increasing pressure to manage financial crime risks with precision and agility. From money laundering to proliferation financing, the threats are complex, and the tools many firms still rely on, like Excel and Word, simply aren't built for the job.

At Aspida, we're changing that. We're proud to launch our new Financial Crime Risk Assessment application in Resolver, a modern, centralised, and cost-effective solution designed to help firms stay compliant, proactive, and in control.

‍

Why Traditional Tools Fall Short

Manual processes, version control issues, and siloed data make it difficult to maintain accurate, up-to-date risk assessments. As regulatory expectations grow, especially around National Risk Assessments (NRAs), and emerging threats like proliferation financing, firms need a more robust, scalable, and affordable approach.

‍

The Resolver Advantage

Our new application in Resolver transforms how firms manage financial crime risk by combining automation, collaboration, and real-time insights in one powerful platform, without the high cost or complexity of traditional GRC systems.

‍

What You Can Expect:

• Comprehensive Risk Assessment Identify and evaluate risks across enterprise and operational levels, aligned with your organisation's risk appetite and regulatory obligations.
• Automation & Efficiency Streamline assessments, monitoring, and reporting with automated workflows, saving time, reducing errors, and lowering operational costs.
• Real-Time Visibility Access interactive dashboards and analytics that provide a 360 view of your risk landscape.
• Seamless Collaboration Enable risk owners, compliance teams, and business leaders to work together through in-app commenting and integrated workflows.
• Strategic Alignment Map risks to controls and business objectives, and make data-driven decisions that support long-term goals.

Introducing the MLFTPF Financial Crime Risk Assessment Register

At the heart of our solution is the MLFTPF Risk Register, a structured, centralised repository that gives firms a head start in managing financial crime risks.

What makes it unique? The register comes pre-configured with a comprehensive library of financial crime risks, each one mapped to the relevant Financial Crime Handbook and National Risk Assessment (NRA) for your jurisdiction. This ensures your risk framework is aligned with local regulatory expectations from the outset, saving time and reducing the cost of setup and compliance alignment.

‍

Key Advantages:‍

• Jurisdiction-Specific Risk Mapping Access a tailored list of risks that reflect the specific threats, typologies, and regulatory focus areas outlined in your jurisdiction's Financial Crime Handbook and NRA.
• Pre-Scored Risk Values Where available, we incorporate default risk scores from NRAs, allowing you to begin assessments with pre-set values that reflect national-level threat and vulnerability ratings.
• Accelerated Risk Assessment Setup Eliminate the need to build your risk register from scratch, our pre-mapped and pre-scored library helps you get up and running quickly and consistently, reducing onboarding and implementation costs.
• By embedding regulatory intelligence directly into your risk register, Resolver enables firms to streamline setup, ensure compliance alignment, and focus on what matters most, managing risk effectively and affordably.

‍

The Outcome: Better Risk Management, Less Effort

With Resolver, firms gain:

• Greater visibility into financial crime risks
• Faster, more accurate reporting
• Stronger collaboration across teams
