AML Data Analytics
With AML and compliance, the data required to identify and combat financial crime is complex. It is often difficult to gather because data is often stored across a patchwork of legacy systems, new systems and siloed business-specific applications. Data quality can vary greatly. Working with unreliable, incomplete or inconsistent data makes it difficult to identify bad actors who pose a financial and reputational threat, which undermines an institution’s ability to efficiently manage risk across the enterprise.
We provide Computer Assisted Audit Techniques in our AML practice. IaS's large team of data analytic experts, previously with a global bank, enable efficient AML auditing.
