What this covers

  • Building and customising templates, including the self-serve template library and Risk Assessment Builder

  • Using the dashboard to oversee every assessment by status, template, and risk rating

  • How Legl Assist auto-answers questions from existing CDD data, and how to override them

  • How conditional logic, scoring, and weighting produce an overall risk rating

  • How high-risk factors are flagged and escalated for sign-off

  • Reviewing, overriding a rating, and recording decisions in the audit trail

  • Setting reassessment dates and managing version history

  • Completing both client and matter risk assessments


Key takeaways

  • Templates are self-serve. Start from the SRA-based template library and customise questions, logic, and weightings in the Risk Assessment Builder. Legl can help if you prefer.

  • Legl Assist pre-fills answers from the client's CDD report to cut manual input. You stay in control and can override any answer.

  • The overall rating reflects your firm's weightings, and a single high-risk factor can raise the whole assessment to high.

  • High-risk assessments can auto-escalate to a nominated reviewer, such as your MLRO, for sign-off before completion.

  • Every change is captured in a time and user-stamped version history, and reassessment dates can be set automatically by risk level.
