TABLE OF CONTENTS


Summary

First AML’s ongoing monitoring feature provides daily updates on screening matches for your clients (individuals and entities) directly within the platform.


This feature helps reporting entities fulfil their screening obligations under AML regulations. Users can quickly identify changes marked as ‘Review required’, and easily review any previous decisions or notes.

You can conveniently access these alerts under the relevant individual or entity profile on the platform.


Here’s how to navigate to the Ongoing Monitoring page.



Note:  A billable charge of 0.1 unit applies for each monitored individual or entity (from the 1st of March 2025). For any questions, please contact your Customer Success Manager or reach out to support@firstaml.com.

How to review matches and record decisions


Once on the Ongoing Monitoring page, the latest updates will appear at the top of the table marked as ‘Review required’. Each hit may have one of three change statuses:


  1. Added – A new source has been linked to a hit, e.g., a new PEP listing for the individual.
  2. Updated – An existing source has been modified, e.g. an update to a previously flagged adverse media listing.
  3. Removed – The individual or entity has been removed from the hit e.g. an entity has been removed from a sanctions list.

To review the new information, click on the match and complete the review just as you would for screening matches at the case level.


For individuals, we've added country and date of birth (releasing in early Jan 2025) to the screening hit table, making it easier to identify and eliminate false positives.


A checkbox and notes field are also provided to allow users to acknowledge changes to each hit.
