I feel like the purpose of services provided is important too, but I can't recall if it was emphasized as much as jurisdiction.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the management and ownership of the respondent bank could also be crucial. We had a case study on that.

The management and ownership of the respondent bank seems like the most critical risk indicator to me. That can give you a good sense of the overall risk profile.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I was thinking the purpose of the services provided to the respondent bank might be the key risk factor to focus on.

This is a tricky one. I think the jurisdiction of the respondent bank is the most important risk indicator to review, since that can expose the bank to higher AML/CFT risks.

Haha, well if the bank is located in a tropical paradise, I'd say that's a good sign! But seriously, C is the correct answer. Can't take any chances with those risky jurisdictions.
