AML Investigation

An AML investigation is a thorough examination conducted when a suspicious activity or alert is flagged by anti-money laundering systems. This investigation involves collecting and analyzing data, reviewing customer records, and assessing transaction details to determine whether the activity is indicative of money laundering. If the investigation confirms suspicious activity, further action, such as filing a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), may be taken.

AML investigations are crucial for upholding compliance standards and protecting organizations from financial crime. Effective investigations rely on a well-structured workflow that includes data gathering, analysis, decision-making, and documentation.
