AML Investigations
AML investigations encompass all activities related to examining suspicious financial transactions or activities flagged by AML detection systems. These investigations are essential to identifying potential money laundering and ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering laws. They often involve analyzing large volumes of data, checking customer backgrounds, and collaborating with other departments or agencies as necessary.
Effective AML investigations require skilled analysts, robust technology, and a clear workflow to ensure that all alerts are reviewed systematically and resolved appropriately. Documenting findings and actions taken during AML investigations is important for demonstrating compliance and maintaining a strong audit trail.
