A KYC analyst is running an adverse media search on a prospective client's directors and learns that one of the directors has been accused of receiving bribery payments. Which step should the KYC analyst take next?

Allegations of bribery involving a director are a significant red flag for potential financial crime risk. The KYC analyst should escalate the finding to the compliance team for assessment and guidance before making any decision on the business relationship.
A bank's business team has developed a new strategy, which includes the introduction of prepaid cards as a new high-risk product offering. The compliance team has proposed to impose a monetary limit on each prepaid card and limit the offering to the existing customers of the bank only. Which best describes the risk impact of the controls proposed by the compliance team?
Inherent risk is the natural risk before controls are applied. The compliance team's measures (monetary limits and restricting to existing customers) reduce the exposure to misuse, thereby lowering the residual risk - the risk that remains after controls are implemented.
