Approve or reject client risk assessments

As an MLRO, you can approve and reject client risk assessments completed by other people. You can self-approve any risk assessments you complete. 

You'll receive a notification to approve any client risk assessments, which you can action as soon as it comes in or you can do it later.

  1. From the Clients menu, select Clients list.
  2. Change the client list view to either Active clients or a custom view that includes all relevant clients.
  3. If any of the entries are greyed out and you cannot select them, this is a restricted item — the parent client record has been set to Private and you do not have access. If you believe this is a mistake, contact your IRIS Elements administrator. Users who have Administrator level permissions are able to view all public and private client records, even those where they are not named as assigned users.

  4. Open the relevant client.
  5. Select the AML tab.
  6. In the Risk assessment panel, select Review. The submitted risk assessment is displayed. 
  7. Review the answers to the questions and the risk level for each section. Rectify or change any answers as required. Select Save & continue.
  8. If you're happy with the overall risk level, under Approval, select Approve. If you need further information or have doubts about this client, select Reject.
  9. Select Complete to finish. The user who submitted the risk assessment will receive a notification and they can no longer edit the assessment. If it was rejected, the user can complete and submit another assessment.
