Has every name been screened, and screened again?
Every name on the register is screened against a consolidated sanctions and PEP dataset on approval, and the whole book is rescreened every week, on the day and hour your firm sets. A result is a list of candidates; a person at your firm records the decision on each one with a reason, and that record is append only. Changes between runs are raised as alerts.

Candidates, threshold, decision
Screening returns candidates with a score and the lists they sit on. Above the firm's threshold they wait for a reviewer; below it they are kept but not raised. The reviewer opens each candidate beside the client, field by field, and records a verdict and a reason, and the decision carries their name and the time. Nothing is edited later; a new decision supersedes the old one.
- Candidate and client side by side
- Your threshold, candidates kept below it
- Reasons required, append only

The whole book, every week
Weekly rescreening of the whole book is included, on the day and hour the firm sets, every name whether or not anything changed; daily or monthly on request. Each run is logged with how many names, how many new candidates and how many delistings, and the firm's dashboard shows when the last run was and when the next is due.
- Weekly included, the day and hour yours
- Daily or monthly on request
- Every run logged
Changes raised as alerts
A new candidate, a score crossing the threshold, a delisting: the difference between two runs becomes an alert with an owner. Alerts go to the MLRO and analysts as push notifications and sit under Screening until someone records a decision, which closes the alert the same way a hit is decided.
- Push notification and the Alerts tab
- Owned, decided, closed
- Screening on staff runs separately and is MLRO-only
| Raised | Name | Change | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun 02:04 | Vela Holdings Ltd | New candidate, sanctions UK, 0.79 | Unassigned |
| Sun 02:04 | A. Le Tissier | Candidate delisted, EU | S. Ashton |
| 12 Oct | Ormer Family Trust | PEP candidate, decided: not a match | Closed |
Adverse media, judged by a person
A web search on the name returns press and public coverage, summarised so a reviewer reads faster. Each result is marked relevant or not with a note, and the note is on the file. The summary is an aid; the decision and the rating change are the reviewer's.
- Search and summary, filed with the decision
- A note per result, on the file
- Never changes a rating by itself
| Source | Headline | Relevance | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guernsey Press, 2024 | Local firm fined over late filings | Possible | Review |
| Trade journal, 2021 | New appointment at Vela Holdings | Not adverse | Closed |
Fine related to a company he left in 2022; noted on the file, no change to rating. S. Ashton, 19 Oct 14:20
On the record, and in the export
The screening section of every person's verification record shows the result, the decisions on file with reviewer and time, and when the next rescreen is due. It exports in the same hashed PDF as the rest of the record, so an inspector reads the same page the MLRO does, and any one screening result exports as a PDF of its own.
- One page per person, screening included
- Exports carry the decisions and their reasons
- One result as its own PDF

Questions about screening
Which lists are screened?
A consolidated sanctions and PEP dataset of more than 200 sources, including the UN, EU, UK and OFAC lists and PEP lists, matched with a threshold you set.
Who decides whether a hit is our client?
A person at your firm. A screening result is a list of candidates, not an answer. The reviewer records a verdict and a reason against each one, and the record of who decided, when and why is append only. A later decision supersedes; nothing is edited.
How often is the book rescreened?
Weekly rescreening of the whole book is included: every name, on the day and hour the firm sets. Daily or monthly instead, on request. Changes since last time are raised as alerts and pushed to the MLRO and analysts.
Can we compare a candidate with our client?
Yes. A candidate opens beside the person on your file, field by field, so the reviewer sees where the two agree and where they differ before recording a decision. Any one result exports as a PDF with its decisions and reasons.
What does an alert look like?
A line in the Alerts tab and a push notification: the name, what changed (a new candidate, a score that crossed the threshold, a delisting) and who owns it. Closing an alert records the decision like any other.
Is adverse media included?
Yes. A web search on the name, summarised and filed with the reviewer's judgement beside each result. The summary helps a person read faster; the decision is theirs.
