Perpetual KYC (P-KYC) is by no means a new phenomenon.  Its popularity has risen in recent years in line with the need for firms to improve efficiency and reduce risk across their due diligence and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.  

Regulations have been encouraging firms to move down this path, including wording on scrutinising transactions, conducting ongoing due diligence and reviewing existing records throughout the course of the relationship with a customer or other third party. Yet perpetual KYC (P-KYC) so far has not managed to become the norm. While it has huge potential to mitigate risk, improve efficiency and unlock many benefits for business, these claims are not grounded in data – and, in turn, firms are hesitant to make the move and start realising this potential. 

We’ve analysed data from thousands of UK businesses from our own Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud, to demonstrate the real rate of change in directors and Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), and show how P-KYC can save valuable time and resource.

Join this webinar to discover the potential of P-KYC. You’ll learn:
• The benefits and challenges of P-KYC
• The change rates of Directors and UBOs in the UK and what you might miss in traditional reviews
• How to increase the efficiency of screening and reduce false positive effort by 75%

Determining the ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) of individuals and companies your firm does business with has traditionally been complex, but it’s important to ensure you aren’t partnering with sanctioned individuals, terrorist groups, or money launderers. 

Finding out who is behind every company in your network requires complex data, often located in a myriad of sources – and information often differs slightly between those sources. Furthermore, there have recently been privacy concerns raised around the transparency of beneficial owners on public registers.

So how can you increase efficiency, accuracy and ensure you have a clean and accurate view of the truth?

Join Neil Isherwood to discover how data and new technologies can support you. You will learn:
• How the battle for transparency vs privacy in beneficial ownership is playing out
• Why understanding ownership is no longer enough – the need to check control too
• How moving to a people-centric approach can avoid duplication and capture aggregated ownership
• How to standardise and contextualise your approach while clustering people based on attributes and their networks

UBO 2.0 – Data and tech for the future of beneficial ownership

Today government procurement and compliance teams are under pressure, facing rapid change and ever-evolving supply chain risks. From macro issues and regulations to SME’s needing to scale and meet targets, understanding risk exposure and building supply chain resilience can be a challenge. 

To overcome the pressures and challenges, government departments must go beyond understanding risks pre-award, to proactively monitoring supplier relationships continuously for firmographic, regulation, or beneficial ownership changes. 

After attending this webinar, you will understand: 
- How quality, structured data can help agencies understand suppliers and the risks they pose.
- How data can improve due diligence processes and in entity resolution to provide a single view of a supplier cross departments. 
- How automation and technology can accelerate the contracting process and monitor change.

Best Practices for Using Data to Ensure a Resilient Public Sector Supply Chain

The term Perpetual KYC (P-KYC) has taken off in the last 12-18 months, but what is it? Most firms currently take a snapshot view of due diligence in a traditional 1, 3 or 5 year periodic review cycle, occasionally layering daily screening of particular elements. Full P-KYC involves consistent monitoring of all external and internal triggers than may impact risk.

In this video, our subject matter expert Neil Isherwood outlines the P-KYC operating model, advantages of the approach and challenges of transitioning.

5 Minute Briefing – What is Perpetual KYC (P-KYC) and Why Use This Approach?

Beneficial ownership registers were introduced across Europe as part of the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Since then, the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive made it mandatory for these registers to be publicly available. However, the European Court of Justice ruled at the end of 2022 that the benefit of public access is not proven and in fact interferes with the private lives of those on the registers.
Watch this short briefing to discover the background to the ruling, the status of UBO registers since the ruling, and the impacts on transparency.

As the UK government looks ahead to plot a course through the post-Brexit, post-pandemic world, senior leaders are focusing on the huge opportunities around better use of data: as the National Data Strategy makes clear, the government’s existing data assets could provide the fuel to power UK PLC in an increasingly digital environment.

But to realise that potential – linking up disjointed public services, strengthening evidence-based policymaking and supporting innovation – civil servants must address some of the foundational issues around how data is gathered, managed and exchanged. Without robust data governance and clear policies on how data is deployed, government bodies will struggle both to build public and business confidence in the agenda, and to deploy data in policymaking, management and service delivery.

The solutions lie in finding ways to ‘master’ data across government – creating persistent keys to allow data to be matched and exchanged between departments, connect up services and eliminate duplication. Featuring senior data leaders from the UK civil service alongside external experts, this webinar discussed how the UK civil service can seize the opportunities lying within its rich data assets.

Master Builders: The Foundations of Good Data Management

Understanding Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) is a fundamental regulatory requirement in EU Money Laundering Directives. To support this drive, the EU Commission has been tasked to connect the various UBO registers at EU level by 10th March, 2021, to provide a consistent and transparent pool of information on UBOs across the region.

However, as with all of the EU Money Laundering Directives, each member state has, or will, implement directives in the way that best suits their unique frameworks and political needs. When it comes to aligning the registers, this presents some challenges. 
Some states are still in the process of setting up their register, while registration isn’t required in others. Some require payment for access to the data, while others don’t currently make the data publicly available at all. Data also differs between regions, for example whether legitimate interest is required.

During this webinar, we take a look at:
•the landscape of the EU Money Laundering Directives with a focus on Beneficial Ownership
•the approaches being used
•how the future connection of registers may work
