What this covers

  • Using the Compliance dashboard to see high-risk clients, PEPs, sanctions, and high-risk jurisdictions in one place

  • How confirming watchlist matches feeds both reporting and ongoing monitoring

  • Reviewing and escalating risk assessments, and amending ratings

  • Managing ongoing monitoring alerts: priorities, bulk review, assigning reviewers, and the weekly MLRO summary

  • Overseeing Engage requests and closing down stale requests

  • Self-serve settings for monitoring alerts and risk assessments


Key takeaways

  • The Compliance dashboard (in Insights) surfaces high-risk contacts, confirmed and unconfirmed PEPs and sanctions, high-risk jurisdictions, and overdue activity, and can be filtered and exported.

  • Confirming whether a watchlist match is your client keeps both reporting and ongoing monitoring accurate, so encourage the team to complete it during review.

  • High-risk risk assessments can auto-escalate to a nominated reviewer for sign-off, with a full version history for the audit trail.

  • Ongoing monitoring alerts show in plain English with low, medium, or high priority, can be reviewed in bulk, and a weekly summary email helps you prioritise before logging in.

  • Monitoring alert types and risk-assessment settings (escalation recipients and reassessment periods) are self-serve in Settings.
