Integrated Fraud & AML Management


The demands and focus on Financial Services companies to comply with Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Fraud regulations and legislation has grown considerably and has become one of the key challenges for all organisations. Significant time and money has been devoted to meeting these challenges but much of the subsequent activity has been fragmented across differing geographies, business units and even channels. The result has been an unsatisfactory and dangerous lack of cohesive planning and delivery evidenced by some or all of the following;

 

  • Disparate systems and procedures leading to a steadily growing cost to comply
  • Localised Compliance activity - not necessarily reflective of Group or wider requirements
  • Lack of process automation and standardisation
  • System inadequacies for handling multiple data types
  • Inability to achieve federated data across whole organisation
  • An inability to respond quickly and effectively to new regulatory requirements

 

The result has been an inability to achieve a consistent approach to combating financial crime and a failure to present a true enterprise-wide picture of the risk thus placing the organisation and accountable individuals at continued exposure to breaching regulatory requirements.
The core issue in the above scenario has not been a lack of will but of a suitable fraud integration tool i.e. a single tool and process that is capable of delivering a single consistent pan-organisational view for fraud and AML.

Bluerock through its co-marketing have established an integrated financial crime solution (IFCS) that provides a single common approach across fraud and AML activity regardless of geography, business unit or channel. This solution enables organisations to:
