Client Screening Platform Replacement and Optimisation

A global bank was planning to implement an industry-leading Client Screening Platform and was now seeking to decommission the legacy system and optimise the new one.

14.02.20
The Situaton
  • Risk and Compliance leaders were keen to move to the new platform but nervous about the quality and coverage vs the legacy platform.
  • The organisation noted a high number of false positives from the test runs of the new Screening platform
  • Whilst onshore and offshore teams had improved processes the high number of false positives was limiting further efficiency gains
  • In order to reduce risk and increase efficiency it was clear a different approach was needed.
Issues
  • The organisation was not sure how to prove to all stakeholders that the new platform was “better” than the old platform.
  • The new platform allowed more scenarios to be added and there was concern that this would lead to more alerts to be reviewed
  • Resources employed to manage Business as Usual were being diverted to the initial spike and not keeping up with daily feeds
  • Throwing more resources at the backlog was not seen as the right medium-term solution.
How P2 FinCrime helped
  • Provided a framework for prioritisation of data cleansing and defined core data elements to reduce noise.
  • Introduced the concept of Targeted List Management vs screening all lists and list elements against all transaction types.
  • Worked with a secondary screening platform to identify lower priority alerts that could be archived vs presented to analysts for immediate consideration
  • Provided the proof of concept that was used to demonstrate that the proposed solution performed at least as well as the legacy system across all search parameters.
  • Supported the documentation of their approach to risk and the testing and assurance that was required to support decisions.
The Outcome
  • Even though coverage was increased headcount in the front-line teams was held due to improved efficiency
  • The legacy platform was decommissioned thus reducing cost and removing poor quality alerts
  • The new platform was able to be maintained by the operational control team vs a technology function thus reducing on-going cost.
