Leading the 2

Wave
2002 - 2008
2009 - 2015
Customer Screening (CS)
• Sanctions, PEPs, Risk screening • Vast quantities of customer data
• Disparate systems, data structures, formats, languages, alphabets
• Breadth + depth of data analysis & search capabilities
• Intelligent data optimization recognized as critical • Advanced algorithms required for data variance,
anomalies, data quality, transliteration and transcription
• Widespread recognition that greater accuracy = large reduction in false positives
• Compliance cost reduction • S-M-L: all sizes - all sectors
• not just for Tier 1’s

Wave Requirements:
1. Maximum Operational Effectiveness • False positives – dramatic reductions
• High accuracy
• Any data / anywhere
• Zero screening limitations (frequency, volumes, watch lists)
• Deploy anywhere
• Multi-lingual, multi-cultural environment 2. Optimum Cost Efficiency
• Risk Scoring, Case Management: reduces review (cycle) time
• Compliance workflow, case routing: speeds case workload
• Advanced language capabilities: reduces costs for international business • Scales from a laptop to the Data Centre

Introducing Oracle Watchlist Screening
• What is it?
– A comprehensive risk and compliance screening application – Chosen by over 160 customers globally
– Agnostic to data being screened – Screens in batch and real-time
– Comprehensive reviewer and management tools
• How does it benefit you?
– Reduces the cost of meeting compliance obligations – Reduces the chances of undetected risk sources – Simplifies screening of international data
– Minimizes vendor dependency
Accurate Data = Accurate Screening
1. ‘Overfilling’ of name data
2. Poor spelling of name and address information 3. Multiple names stored in a single field
4. Name information ‘misfielded’ into addresses 5. Date of Birth information in various formats 6. Entities and individuals mixed together 7. Non-standard name constructs
8. Poorly fielded address information 9. Non-standard country information

Simplifying international data screening
•
New geographies – new risks
– PEPs and their associates
– Embargoed Countries
•
Multiple writing systems in use
•
Oracle Watchlist Screening
– Optional Language & Country Packs – 45 languages & 57 countries
–Cyrillic
–Greek
–Chinese
–Arabic
–Hangul (Korean)
–Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana (Japanese)
Transliteration Example: Greek
•
Mostly character level but with some complex rules
•
Uses the standard EDQ Transliterator processor with the Greek
to Latin option, and a few simple additional rules (removing
Name Variant Recognition Example: Russian
•
Dictionaries are provided to recognize and
match different transliterations of the same
Russian name (that might exist on lists) >>>
Transcription Example: Arabic
•
For Arabic, transliteration does not
work
– e.g. دمحم is transliterated by most
methods to ‘mhmd’ but really
represents ‘Muhammad’
•
Direct transcription is required. This
uses a dictionary which recognises
more than 200,000 names, and over
5m transliterated variants of those
names
Prioritizing highest potential risks
•
Risk Scores provide measures of relative risk of doing business with
individuals or entities
•
Ensures priority is given to reviewing high risk individuals/entities
•
Automates the closure of low confidence/low risk matches avoiding
unnecessary review work
•
Ensures effective use of resources by prioritising work activity
•
Reduces the burden maintaining PEPs whilst continuing to demonstrate
Externally calculated Risk Scores may be used – for example
