Identifying inconsistencies while implementing AML/CFT policy framework includes conducting regular risk assessments, policy formations aligned to business risk, initiating proper controls, training the employees, performing audits, and reporting. Regulated Entities need to practice strategies that help to avoid inconsistencies, so no door is left open for money laundering and terrorist financing crimes to enter.

With Regulated Entities upping their ante with best-in-class Sanctions Screening Software and Sanctions Screening APIs, criminals also find ways to escape this cat and mouse chase!

One method to escape deeper scrutiny is name alteration, name variation, or misuse of aliases to evade identification or matching names contained in sanctions lists. Name alteration or name manipulation is a Sanctions Evasion technique, that criminals use to disconnect their names with their true identities which tie them to prohibited activities that led to inclusion of their names in sanctions or designated persons lists. Name alteration preys on limited data linking capabilities of screening software and APIs. Identification of name manipulation is a must during CDD to ensure that criminals do not pass sanctions screening.
