Acams Advanced-CAMS-Audit Exam - Topic 3 Question 27 Discussion

Which best explains why the auditor rates the audit finding on sanction screening severity high?
C) The tool might miss potential sanction violations given the long intervals before the sanctions lists are updated.
A) The efficiency of the sanction screening tool is not properly tuned due to the wrong sanctions lists.
B) The finding is on a different audit topic than the KYC related findings.
D) The organization might have reported a sanction breach that is not a current sanction violation. Severity Justification: Infrequent updates of sanction lists create significant risks of missing sanctioned entities, increasing legal, financial, and reputational risks for the institution. FATF Recommendations emphasize the need for timely and accurate sanctions screening to prevent facilitation of sanctioned transactions. Critical Evidence: A delayed update to sanction lists is cited as a key failure point in regulatory penalties and compliance audits.

Wait, are they really not updating those lists often enough?

I think they should focus more on the KYC findings instead.

I’m a bit confused about the differences between the options, but I recall that missing sanctions can lead to serious penalties, so maybe C is right?

I think we practiced a question similar to this where the focus was on the implications of not updating lists. It feels like C is the strongest choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the severity rating might relate more to the efficiency of the tool itself, which could point to option A.

I remember discussing how outdated sanctions lists can really increase risks for organizations, so I think option C makes sense.
