What this covers
Screening obligations in this market
Screen, assess, document, and monitor against one transparent corpus — reframed to the authorities and statutes you answer to.
◧ ObligationSanctions screening
MLR 2017 customer due diligence and OFSI's strict-liability financial-sanctions regime — with penalties up to the greater of £1m or 50% of the breach value — mean missing a designated person is not a paperwork slip. Screen runs every name against the live UK Sanctions List.
◧ ObligationPEP identification & enhanced due diligence
MLR 2017 requires enhanced due diligence on politically exposed persons and their close associates. Assess applies PEP tiering and an EDD report against the UK Parliament roster and our wider PEP corpus, so a hit is interpretable, not just returned.
◧ ObligationRecordkeeping for SARs & DAMLs
POCA's authorised-disclosure and Defence Against Money Laundering process — reporting to the NCA/UKFIU — means a screening decision is often the trigger for a reportable event. Document keeps the case, disposition, and audit trail behind that decision.
◧ ObligationOngoing monitoring
MLR 2017's ongoing-monitoring duty means yesterday's clear name can become today's designation. Monitor is where we're heading: re-screening the book of business as the UK Sanctions List and PEP roster change.
