Welcome to BOL!
As noted, appendix J to the current
examination procedures is your template and the examination procedures themselves will provide some guidance on how the risk assessment will be used. (Search them using "risk assessment.") The examination procedures are expected to be updated this month with a number of "improvements" including expanded guidance on the risk assessment. If you sign up for "BOL Briefings" (lower left of BOL's home page) you will be notified when they are published.
If you use the Bankers Threads "search" feature (top of this page) using keywords "risk assessment," search only this forum, and go back no more than one year, the search will stop when it reaches 200 posts mentioning that term. However, those discussions are understandably random and your best starting point would probably be the BSA Risk Assessment tools Brenda C contributed in
Bankers Tools. Finally, BOL has offered webinars on the subject, the most recent of which was last month. It can be ordered through the
Training Catalog.
If your role in audit includes performing the independent review of BSA compliance, you will disassociate yourself from the BSA risk assessment process now. One of your responsibilities will be to review the risk assessment for its scope, accuracy, etc. If you participate in developing it, you are no longer an independent source of review.
