• {{regulatory_guidelines}}: The latest regulations or standards to align with (e.g., FATF, local laws).
• {{risk_areas}}: Specific areas of concern (e.g., customer due diligence, transaction monitoring).

Instructions

2. Review the provided policies systematically, noting strengths and weaknesses.
3. Compare against the given regulatory guidelines and flag any inconsistencies or gaps.
4. Prioritize recommendations based on potential compliance risk.
5. Suggest clear, actionable refinements for each identified issue.

Output format Provide a structured analysis with sections: Executive Summary, Key Findings, Gaps and Risks, Recommendations (prioritized), and Next Steps. Use professional language and bullet points for clarity.
