TRANSACTION MONITORING
Transaction monitoring is a critical, and resource intensive, component of an effective ML programme. All too often automated monitoring systems generate an enormous volume of low value alerts - so-called false positives - which staff must sift through looking for the few that may be suspicious. This presents a great deal of risk. We can:
-
Help establish guidelines and procedures for transaction monitoring and alert investigation.
-
Review the trends in activity for banking transactions including manipulating and categorising data for investigation.
-
Confirm whether an MT103 uses the cover method and pair the MT103 with a corresponding MT202COV.
-
Identify exceptions and deviations from SWIFT standards.
-
Advise on management information reporting systems to properly measure alert quality, track the time it takes staff to resolve alerts, and monitor alert inventory.
