The Bank Fraud Risk Assessment is a critical regulatory and operational document required for banking institutions operating in Switzerland. It is typically prepared annually or when significant operational changes occur, serving as a fundamental component of a bank's risk management framework. The assessment is mandated by FINMA and must comply with Swiss banking regulations, including the Federal Banking Act and Anti-Money Laundering Act. It provides a detailed evaluation of potential fraud risks across all banking operations, assessment of control effectiveness, and specific recommendations for risk mitigation. This document is particularly important in the Swiss context due to the country's position as a global financial center and its stringent regulatory requirements for banking security and stability.
