Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWire) -- 07/28/2022 --Global supply chains have become a complex place over the past year with an ever-expanding web of export bans and restrictions on a number of individuals and entities making things even more complicated. Navigating this landscape better, in order to mitigate risk and generate paths to growth, means tapping into all available tools. AML transaction monitoring is most traditionally tied to the way that financial institutions ensure their resources are free from laundered profits. However, it is now becoming an increasingly vital tool with respect to sanctions compliance too, which makes AML transaction monitoring critical for global businesses focused on risk mitigation in international supply chains. Why has this become so essential? Well, AML transaction monitoring has such a big role to play when it comes to sanctions against Russia, for example, because it can be difficult to identify who actually has an interest in a financial transaction. This is due to the use of extended payment chains, anonymous legal entities, and shell companies with less than transparent ownership. Where AML transaction monitoring is in place, any changes in customer behaviour will trigger a closer inspection - and it can also be used to look for specific Russian typologies. In both cases, AML transaction monitoring will help to reveal both sanctioned activities, as well as sanctioned actors, better mitigating risk right along the supply chain.

With AML transaction monitoring playing such a key role in sanctions compliance, it's vital that the systems used to implement this are straightforward and easy to navigate. This is something that Lucinity has embedded at the heart of its process, creating software that combines the best in human intelligence with all the advantages that are offered by AI.
