dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP Screening

The Compliance Challenge

Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs) and Risk Managers are faced with increasing ‘know your customer’ (KYC) challenges related to regulatory requirements that are designed to stamp out fraud and other illegal activity. The fact is that if you’re doing business with money launderers, fraudsters, known terrorists and other people whose activities may compromise foreign policy or national security then you’re putting your reputation on the line and you may be breaking the law.

Compromised Compliance

Organizations typically use basic matching technology to compare their data records with reference lists from bodies such as the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), HM Treasury, commercial list providers (such as World-Check and Dow Jones/Factiva) and other lists published around the world or held within the business. In practice this generates a large number of ‘false positives and negatives’ that require manual review, which - aside from being expensive and time consuming - can never assure full compliance.
