The core aim of this study is to propose an approach to quantitate estimation of indices-based information subject to necessities of the National Risk Assessment (NRA) of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks. Mathematical formalization analysis for Ukraine based on 11 indices and indicators for years 2011-2015 subject to core areas of the overall situation in a country considered within its National Risk Assessment was carried out. Authors’ contribution covers scientific novelty that is a first-time analysis of a general situation in a jurisdiction in light of the National Risk Assessment’s requirements based on joint consideration of various indices and setting priority to areas of the overall country’s situation in the framework of conducted calculations. It was concluded that proposed approach is a valuable instrument for assessing priority of areas of the overall situation in the country for the National Risk Assessment’s purposes through a formalized mechanism ensuring high objectiveness.udPractical significance of this study is a possibility to reach higher efficiency in allocation of available resourcesudfor the participants of the National Risk Assessment, to reduce some costs considering flexibilityudof the approach allowing consideration of significant volumes of information, its updating and comparison.udThis research could become a starting point for further research. Considering complexity of existing indices,udthere is a necessity to study a mechanism of their correlation and mutual influence, analyze elasticity andudjoint behavior, and discover the areas of preferable influence on large range of purposes not only limited toudthe MRA of ML/TF risks.
