ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING

The Challenge

Compliance with Anti-money Laundering Regulatory (AML) requirements continues to dominate agenda for compliance departments. Financial Regulators are still identifying failings in firms’ compliance with these requirements. In addition, firms will need to address the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking on how to manage the risks related to money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Firms operating on a global basis will need to demonstrate a robust compliance framework ensuring that each territory has sufficient oversight, and that AML regulatory requirements are being adhered to at both a local and global level.

FusionExperience's Ignoto Platform

The advanced automation within Ignoto can be used to scan large volumes of financial transactions, such as SWIFT messages. Unstructured notes can be analysed as well as structured financial information. This is compared to other KYC data and AML policy documents.  Alerts are generated by algorithms and fuzzy logic.

Typical Outcomes

  • Robust and secure policies and procedures can be established or validated for compliance of AML and OFAC regulations
  • AML and KYC anomalies are identified together with recommendations for improvements in process controls and risk protocols

Typical Timescales

Ignoto projects can be initiated very quickly.  On the assumption that data is available, even very large amounts of data can be rapidly ingested. Anomaly identification can start within days.

Depending on the quality and completeness of the data, and the nature of anomalies found, these projects can conclude within weeks or may prove to deliver ongoing and continuous benefit.

 

 

KNOW YOUR CLIENT

The Challenge

Organisations are required by regulation to know more and more about their clients before doing business with them. This is also important for managing agency relationships and compliance with Anti-Bribery legislation. As well as organisations themselves, legal firms are engaged identify fraud within their clients' business and they need to be able to do this both quickly and accurately.

FusionExperience's Ignoto Solution

The data concerning clients is very disparate located across a number of different sources in both structured and unstructured formats.  In order to truly Know Your Client, this needs to be brought together in a meaningful way.  Data is ingested into Ignoto from multiple sources. Hand written forms, email and voice conversations can be combined and are simply viewable.  This can be added to structured data that is held across multiple legacy applications.  Additional intelligence is held in the public domain, for example credit agencies and Companies House. This can be imported and matched to the data held within the organisation.  Ignoto delivers a single client view across the enterprise that is available across all sources. This allows insight that has not been seen before.

Typical Outcomes

  • Multi-million pound savings have been made from the detection of fraudulent transactions
  • Legal organisations have achieved increased revenue fees for better work done more efficiently

Typical Timescales

Ignoto projects can be initiated very quickly. On the assumption data is available, even very large amounts can be rapidly ingested.  Anomaly identification can start within days.  Depending on the quality and completeness of the data, and the nature of anomalies found, these projects can conclude within weeks or may prove to deliver ongoing and continuous benefit.
