Question 650
For this identified exposure, a reputational-risk team discovers adverse media about a major customer but does not inform compliance. Choose TWO complementary steps: one targeted safeguard and one test of its operation.
- Establish shared triggers between reputational risk and AFC teams
- Compare customer occupation, account history, and payment counterparties
- Implement event-driven KYC refresh and ongoing customer review
- Audit media referrals for completion of documented compliance review
- Test entity inventories for inclusion across applicable AFC assessments
- Sample sensitive exits for legal review and approved timing
Explanation
Correct Answers
A:A controlled information flow supports timely and proportionate decisions. It addresses the live exposure in a reputational-risk team discovers adverse media about a major customer but does not inform compliance; corrective action is not a substitute for verifying its operation.
D:Testing verifies closure of the intelligence-to-decision path. It produces control-performance evidence about a reputational-risk team discovers adverse media about a major customer but does not inform compliance; a documented plan alone would not prove operation.

Question 651
An institution has corrected a process after discovering this case: A remittance company blocks all low-income migrant customers because enhanced checks cost more than their fees. Which test best proves the relevant safeguard operates?
- Measure member adoption of indicators and validated hit quality
- Sample referrals for corroboration and documented customer outcomes
- Measure access decisions and actual risk outcomes by customer segment
- Assess whether new intelligence covers previously missing payment channels

Question 652
The compliance team introduces remediation for this weakness: A branch screens sanctioned party names but overlooks a UN embargo relating to a category of exported goods. Which evidence best shows it is functioning?
- Sample trade payments for prohibited product and destination flags
- Test request handling against authority verification and disclosure logs
- Audit internal decisions and submission acknowledgments for timely completion
- Verify regional intelligence is reflected in customer and geographic risk scoring
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Control testing demonstrates that embargoed activity is found even without a listed party. This test provides observable evidence about the affected process; a test focused on a bank treats a regulatory examination request as a criminal search warrant would not establish the same result.
