I think D makes more sense. High-risk clients are key.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I wonder if starting with a percentage of the clients could also be valid. It’s tricky!

I remember a practice question where we had to identify high-risk clients first. Maybe requesting that list could be a good starting point?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like evaluating quality assurance processes might be important too. It could help identify any gaps in the onboarding.

I think the first step should be to review the CDD onboarding policies. It makes sense to understand the criteria before selecting a sample.
