Summary
____________________________________________________________________________________
Reviewing screening for an entity follows the standard process. For the full step-by-step - reviewing results, recording decisions, controlling ongoing monitoring, filtering, making bulk decisions, and downloading results - see How to review screening hits, update statuses and add notes. This article covers what's specific to entities.
Any user with access to a case can review entity screening results. Configuring the EU/APAC region setting and billing is typically restricted to admins.
What counts as an entity
____________________________________________________________________________________
An entity is any company, trust, or other organisation you're screening within a case, as opposed to an individual.
How entity screening runs
____________________________________________________________________________________
Entity screening runs automatically for every entity that enters the platform. If your account is configured for the EU (European Union), you can opt out; if it's configured for APAC (Asia-Pacific), you opt in instead.
Once an entity has an initial match, it's monitored daily, and nominated people at your firm get email updates when its screening status changes.
Screening categories for entities
____________________________________________________________________________________
Entities are screened for sanctions, adverse media, warnings, and fitness & probity. PEP does not apply to entities.
Billing
____________________________________________________________________________________
Entity screening reports are billable per report. Contact help@firstaml.com for pricing.
How to add exceptions
____________________________________________________________________________________
- Go to the entity from the Manifest tab.
- Click the alert icon at the top right.
- Add a temporary or permanent exception and a reason, then save.
