    Reimagining Intelligence Management to Combat Financial Crimes at Scale

Client


The client serves as the premier national agency in the APAC region, specializing in managing suspicious financial transactions. As the central authority, it is responsible for collecting, processing, and analyzing this crucial data. Their findings are then disseminated to enforcement agencies and other Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulators, both domestically and internationally. In its role as a key AML regulator for financial institutions, the client actively confronts the challenges posed by money laundering and terror financing by leveraging financial intelligence at both local and global levels.

Market Trends

Before understanding the challenges of the client, here’s a glimpse of the latest global trends related to compliance and regulatory landscape.

  • Industries across various sectors have faced significant security breaches, causing disruptions at both national and international levels.
  • These incidents have resulted in substantial financial losses, damage to reputations, and a decrease in consumer confidence.
  • Historical events have highlighted numerous schemes and disasters, leading to the formulation of regulations and the creation of regulatory bodies.
  • As regulatory requirements continuously evolve, the role of technology becomes crucial in ensuring effective compliance across industries.
  • Transaction monitoring is a key part of AML compliance programs, allowing financial institutions to analyze and monitor transactions in real time.
  • AI and machine learning (ML) are being used to analyze data and identify patterns that could indicate suspicious activity.

Business Challenges and Opportunities

The client processes a high volume of suspicious activity reports, and high manual effort used to be required for analysis. Automation of various steps was the need of the hour. These include:

 

Collection and receipt of financial information for reported entities

All financial institutes are obliged under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, (PMLA) 2002 to submit various reports to the client; these reports contain activity based and threshold-based reports

Analysis of financial information

Post receipt of reports, the client performs analysis of the information provided and creates cases based on the nature of the reports and suspicious transactions

Dissemination of cases

Cases are created and disseminated to Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) for further actions

Financial intelligence

Scope of generation and dissemination of targeted financial intelligence done by leveraging emerging technologies

Capacity building
