AML Alert Disposition

AML alert disposition is the final outcome or decision made regarding an AML alert after it has been reviewed and investigated. This disposition could be “true positive,” requiring further action, or “false positive,” indicating that no suspicious activity was found. Documenting the alert disposition helps maintain a comprehensive audit trail and ensures that the organization can demonstrate due diligence in its compliance efforts.

Managing AML alert dispositions effectively helps compliance teams track the effectiveness of their AML processes, refine detection systems, and provide clear documentation for audits or regulatory reviews. A well-documented disposition process also supports transparency and accountability in AML compliance operations.
