According to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Corruption regulations, financial institutions must take reasonable measures to determine whether an individual is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP). By placing PEPs into a higher risk model for Enhanced Due Diligence, organizations can protect themselves from being used by money launderers and other harmful activities. But not all PEPs present the same level of risk, it will vary depending on the country of jurisdiction, industry or sector etc.

根据反洗钱和反腐败要求，金融机构必须采取合理措施，确定个人是否是政治公众人物 (PEP)。藉由将 PEPs 置于较高的风险模型中，辅以加强尽职调查，机构可以保护自己不被洗钱者和其他有害活动所使用。但并非所有 PEPs 都存在相同的风险水平，它将因司法管辖权、行业或单位的不同等而有所差异。

The right combination of management structure with leading edge technology can streamline your global watch list management, reducing noise in your screening process.
Managing any global data process can be challenging – managing the variety of lists employed in your screening process is no exception. Whether you’re a large multi-national with lists spanning numerous countries or a financial institution (FI) trying to organize a set of lists in one region—the complexities of watch list management can add significant costs and inefficiency that overwhelm your staff and systems.
Many financial institutions struggle with ad hoc management of a decentralized process. For example, local branches have relationships with local vendors and often create local lists, leading to substantial variability and duplication across the enterprise. This duplication creates regulatory risk as there is no clear view of what is being screened across the organization to show to auditors. Beyond the regulatory risk, the data inconsistencies can be a root cause of false positives due to imprecise matching.
Join the experts at Pitney Bowes to learn about best practices and innovative approaches to watch list management that will help standardize program management and improve overall data quality to drive better outcomes of your Sanctions Screening and Watch List Filtering processes.

Learning Objectives
•Alleviating various pitfalls and challenges FIs face in watch list management
•Reviewing best practice approaches and technologies to improve watch list management
•Understanding quantifiable benefits you can achieve through better watch list data quality
