Post Event Transaction Monitoring Systems Still Have a Role in AML Compliance

 

Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/15/2022 -- We are entering an era where monitoring transactions in real time has become vital. However, post-event transaction monitoring systems still have a key role to play in AML Compliance. Given the increasing complexity of transactions today and the pressure to ensure compliance standards are being met, post-event monitoring is still crucial. This is, essentially, a tool for less critical situations (i.e., where payments may not raise an immediate suspicion), which involves regular reviews that may take place on a weekly or a monthly basis. Indications of unusual activities will arise over time through the monitoring of patterns. Post-event transaction monitoring also involves looking at completed payments alongside money laundering typologies to see where more investigation is likely to be necessary.

Most of the work of post-event transaction monitoring is done by automated systems - monitoring and rules that are intended to highlight challenging patterns in customer activities. This kind of infrastructure allows compliance experts to then manually investigate, ensuring comprehensive AML Compliance. A key element of working with post-event transaction monitoring is ensuring that the rules in place have been clearly defined. Rules should take into account a number of important factors, including the type of customer, customer risk profiles that have been established during a due diligence process, distribution channels and nature and frequency of transactions. With these in place, it's much simpler to carry out effective post-event transaction monitoring. Why does this matter today? Because when it comes to AML Compliance, post-event transaction monitoring is required, not just as good practice, but also to meet the standards of AML Compliance in many countries worldwide.
