AML Investigation Challenges
The traditional approach to combatting money laundering focuses on compliance.
Financial institutions generally use rule-based tools to conduct Know Your
Customer (KYC) and customer due diligence processes millions of Suspicious
Transaction Reports (STRs) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and tend to
produce many false positive alerts. This creates an information overload for the
FIUs responsible for uncovering money laundering networks. The percentage
of false positive alerts generated by traditional, rule-based AML/CFT tools is
shockingly high, accounting for 90-95% of all suspicious transaction alerts

.
Data Challenges
+ Massive amounts of data from SAR/STRs
+ Data siloed between multiple databases
+ Little time to investigate each lead
+ Noise generated from false positives
Decision Challenges
+ Which STRs/SARs to focus on
+ Which companies or individuals to focus on
+ How to allocate and optimize investigation
manpower and resources
Decision Intelligence Platforms for
AML Investigations
Decision Intelligence platforms leverage technologies such as data fusion, machine
learning and AI, in addition to collaboration and data visualization tools. These
platforms enable organizations to automatically collect, fuse and analyze data
from virtually any source, on a massive scale, in order to generate data-driven
insights and decisions. This allows AML investigative teams to detect anomalies,
identify patterns of suspicious activities, assess risks, and uncover new leads.
Best-in-class Decision Intelligence platforms enhances data science with domain
expertise, by allowing non-technical-domain experts to contribute their field-
specific knowledge to the building of organization-specific analytical models.
