What is the Compliance overview?

Learn what the Compliance overview dashboard shows, who it is for, how to opt in, and how it differs from the MLRO oversight dashboard.

Written by Ula Moyse-White

Overview

The Compliance overview is a new dashboard within Legl Insights designed to give MLROs and compliance teams a fast, high-level view of key compliance risks across their client base. It surfaces clients and matters that may need attention without requiring manual searches or filtering.

The dashboard is currently opt-in. Firms can enable it and switch back to the legacy MLRO oversight view at any time using the View legacy MLRO oversight button.

ℹ️ Important

The Compliance overview dashboard is currently in beta. The features and layout may change based on feedback and ongoing development.

We encourage firms to share their thoughts on what is working well and what could be improved with your Customer Success Manager, or contact our Support team.


What you can use the Compliance overview dashboard for

  • Reviewing confirmed and unconfirmed PEP matches across your client base

  • Reviewing confirmed and unconfirmed sanctions matches

  • Reviewing clients with high-rated risk assessments

  • Identifying clients based in high-risk countries or jurisdictions

  • Tracking Engage requests that have been outstanding for 30 or more days

  • Getting an at-a-glance view of compliance areas that may require follow-up

  • Exporting a CSV of flagged high-risk contacts for use in external and internal reporting


How the Compliance overview dashboard works

The Compliance overview dashboard pulls together compliance signals from across Legl into a single view. Rather than navigating to separate reports or dashboards, MLROs and compliance teams can see a consolidated summary of the areas most likely to need their attention.

The top of the dashboard shows three summary cards:

  • High risk contacts: a count of flagged contacts, broken down by confirmed PEPs, potential PEPs, confirmed sanctions, unconfirmed sanctions, high-rated risk assessments, and high-risk jurisdictions

  • Jurisdictions: a count of contacts by location, split into high-risk countries and international

  • Activities outstanding (30+ days): Engage requests that have been open for 30 or more days

Below the summary cards, a table lists the underlying contacts. You can filter it by PEP status, sanction status, CDD status, and country of residence. Each row shows the contact's country of residence, PEP status, sanction status, assigned reviewer, unreviewed alerts, CDD status, and risk assessment.


CSV export

You can also export a CSV of flagged high-risk contacts directly from the Compliance overview. The export runs asynchronously and you will receive an email when your file is ready to download.

The CSV includes the following columns:

  • Name

  • Legl reference

  • Client reference

  • Is PEP

  • Is Sanctioned

  • Is high-risk risk assessment

  • Is high-risk third country

This view is designed to support oversight and prioritisation, not to replace the detailed records available elsewhere in Legl.


Where to find the Compliance overview dashboard in Legl
